Newly Installed Custom Teak Flooring: Steven Menz, Master Woodworker. Please note that the flooring is constructed of individually installed traditional teak planking and is not to be compared with sheet-applied or synthetic products. Each board was individually numbered so that the color and grain run true throughout. All hatches fit precisely, and the major hatches, where possible, are framed with contoured corners. Each hatch includes the appropriate traditional solid brass hardware. This endeavor was commissioned by the present owners in 2008 and required several months to execute while the vessel remained in enclosed storage for half of the boating season. (All wall-to-wall carpeting was removed, including that alongside the double berth in the forward stateroom which is paneled in teak, as well.) The original Viking inlay flooring, also in pristine condition, is retained in the galley and the heads only. The present owners retained these as well as the entirety of the superb Viking teak joinery throughout the boat.
