[Alberg30] teak on stern

[Lorelei23 at aol.com]

Dear Bill.

The piece of teak I have is shaped like a milled piece of lumber.  It's 2" x 
16".  The former owner gave me the wood as he was planning to replace the 
stern piece himself; he just never got around to it.  He actually had a 
cardboard pattern tacked to the wood, but the guy who is refinishing all my 
deck wood is hestitant to have it cut by that pattern  because it has many 
odd markings on it, i.e. up arrows, down arrows, etc.  We don't want to cut 
the wood and find that it doesn't fit.  

Some of the other information I have received from other owners includes:

Dwalker at cemcocpa.com (Dan Walker) :  the stern piece is actually three 
layers, one on top of the other mitered and fit together.  I  saw a "younger" 
boat and its stern piece had spacers between the deck and the top piece which 
was cheaper and allowed for water drainage off the stern.  This would be 
cheaper but not as nice to look at.

I have no idea that this will be helpful information, but it's all I have.  
Any thoughts you might have on replacement would be appreciated.  I wish I 
had the old teak the former owner took off the boat so I would not be at such 
a disadvantage in replacing it.  

Sincerely,    Lorelei
