1987 GB 42C, 35 years old with original teak decks. What could go wrong?!?! Well, this, pics. Doing some maintenance today on varnish, a few bung replacements, and I come across two areas where the deck caulking is oozing out (plastic is to cover them overnight while I decide where to go). While I am on the boat a plank springs at one end. It was not sprung when I arrived. I guess it waited for me as a surprise. The two oozing area are separated as shown in the pics. Teak decks are in pretty good shape with the exception of some bung replacements being needed. Nt paper thin although I can tell they have been sanded in the past by PO's.
Any comments on the "why's" of these issues as well as comments on where to start fixing. Take up the sprung plank to see what is underneath would seem to be a first step. And hope for the best I guess!
Apologies for the pic rotations. One day I will figure that function out.
