September 2011.  Diana's bridge deck.  I found this scrap of manufactured decking from the ruins of the 'Independence Cherubini' fiasco.  The 2" teak planks come bonded edge-to-edge with Thiakol.  I laminated this over a piece of 3/8" which was curved to (sort of) the crown of the cockpit seats.  Prior to that I had filled in the lower section of the companionway hatch by laying up 'glass against the teak plywood of the inside, which I had left high here on purpose.  The opening gets an ash threshold and new trim cheek pieces.

The mainsheet traveler goes across the after edge of this little deck with a 2" wide backing plate and aluminum knees underneath.  These in turn get masked by a facia board across the back which was originally going to house the compass; but I decided that was too far down to crane my old neck.  It will have the engine start switch and switches for the instrument lights and the cockpit footlights however.

So I may have the only Hunter 25 in the world with a teak deck!  :)
