I thought it was teak to, but it's fiberglass.


I always assumed the nickname "leaky-teaky" referred to the
deck, ports, & hatches, which are often very fancy wood &
often put together with quite excellent craftmanship, but
with nails and/or bathtub caulk etc etc. I feel that I can
use the term "leaky-teaky" without fear of being accused of
prejudice because we own one... I am in the finishing stages
of taking off a beautiful but very impractical teak deck...
caught it just in the nick of time since there were only a
few small bad spots in the cored fiberglass deck structure.

Another issue with those series is that the Taiwanese were
notorious for stealing designs. William Garden & Robert
Perry have both complained that their designs were used but
never paid for.
