Hi Brats,
To warm up the cabin of Valkyrie we've added a few teak accents, with more coming in the next few weeks, but came across a really neat product made only a few miles from home.
It's a synthetic material called Plasteak and is made from recycled plastic milk jugs. We used the one that looks just like teak and holly for the floor of the cabin. It comes with a 25 year wear warranty and is glued to the floor, but ours is just lying there now, as we wait for warmer weather for the correct application. It's also non-skid.
The company president spent lots of time with me and gave me a deal on an odd piece because it's sold in six foot wide sheets. It is very flexible, allowing it to conform to the cabin's concave floor.
A number of high end boat companies, both power and sail, are using it for both interior and extrerior. The outdoor stuff is VERY pricey so we're passing on doing the cockpit.
The source is www.plasteak.com One six foot x six foot sheet would easily do the cabins of two CD 22's.
A picture is in our album.
Best regards,
Nick
