The Riva 85 Opera arrived at Marine Services One for a brand-new teak decking.
Our skilled team removed the old and worn teak of this 86 ft yacht and then began preparing custom-cut teak to fit the yacht’s elegant lines perfectly. Each plank was carefully crafted and installed to provide a fresh, durable, and stylish upgrade that complements the yacht’s luxurious design. With this meticulous teak replacement, the Riva 85 Opera is now equipped with a robust and beautiful deck.
The old teak deck was inspected for its overall condition.
A sheet template was created for every piece of new teak required.
Once the template was cross-checked against the old teak, it was scrapped off and removed completely.
The deck was sanded down and filled out with epoxy to make it leveled.
New teak was fabricated based on the MDF templates and 100 m2 of the deck was covered with new teak.
Teak primer was added in, and then the 290 DC Sikaflex in black was applied.
The deck was cleaned with acetone and the 298 Sikaflex was applied to the new teak pieces which act as a bounding agent. Once stuck together, the new teak pieces were placed onto the deck.
Once the teak pieces were aligned together correctly, 290 DC Sikaflex was applied to the boarders of the teak for a clean finish.
The new teak was sanded down with grid 300 sanding paper and then washed for a smooth finish.
