Removing old teak decks from the 34-year-old sailboat Antidote requires stripping all deck hardware, including eight deck fills, a Nilsson windlass teak pad, and various T-tracks.0:46 To preserve the cap rails, the owner drills pilot holes and uses a light chisel to remove bungs before backing out screws with an impact driver.2:01 Stubborn fasteners on corroded T-tracks require penetrating fluid and, in extreme cases, an 800-foot-pound air impactor after grinding the screw heads to fit the bit.6:10 Once hardware is clear, the teak strips are pried up using a glazier’s bar and a 36-inch demolition pry bar.3:42 Moisture meter readings confirm the underlying core is waterlogged, showing 25% moisture content compared to 15% before deck removal.10:56 The project reveals a hard, two-part pour-in sealant material around the bronze pass-through cleats.7:58 Former Liberty Yachts employees provided original teak stock to assist with future repairs.12:57 Patience, heat, and the correct choice of sealant—4200 over 5200—are essential for successful deck removal and future maintenance.
