REFIT ESSENTIALS
As we’re heading into 2020, ONBOARD looks at some of the leading refit companies for your yacht this winter season and beyond
TEAKDECKING SYSTEMS C
aulking is one of the most important components of a properly installed teak deck. The narrow caulk-filled seams
between teak planks are not merely decorative but have a vital role in keeping a deck watertight. The seams are critical expansion and contraction joints, which must move and flex with the vessel. The caulk must adhere to teak plank sidewalls while remaining elastic for deck flexing, and it must be temperature-resistant for all weather conditions. Furthermore, the caulk must be resistant to chemicals and UV degradation. Teakdecking Systems could not find an acceptable commercial caulk product to meet the extreme demands of superyachts, and commercial boats so they developed their own: SIS 440 Teak Deck Caulking. This proprietary product is installed on more than 50,000 decks globally. Teakdecking Systems recently published a 16-page guide available on their website

GURIT W
elcome to Gurit’s latest generation, award winning multi-purpose epoxy range, AMPRO™. A simple
to use all-purpose epoxy ideally suited for bonding, coating, laminating and filling. The epoxy is perfect for the repair and refit of wooden structures and interiors due to its rapid cure at temperatures as low as +5°C and its flexibility of use in multiple applications. The AMPRO™ range includes a bio-based alternative. The more environmentally friendly AMPRO™ BIO option does not compromise on performance, retaining all of the key properties you would expect from a state-of-the-art multi-purpose epoxy. It was developed using chemicals derived from plant-based materials that are by- products of the food chain rather than petro-chemicals. Thanks to the >40% bio-content, AMPRO™ BIO is a more sustainable product, which has a richer colour and further enhances the natural grain of the wood being coated. Alongside the sustainability benefits, the complete AMPRO™ range mirrors Gurit’s commitment to health and safety using base chemicals with low hazards to minimise the risk to users.
