Ollie,
A few years back we pulled the teak off Raga’s deck. She is hull 123. After filling all the screw holes we went back fiberglass then Kiwi grip paint for a non skid surface. Are doing most of the work yourself? There are many things to be learned as you move along with the project. Let me know where you are and I will tell what we did. Which may give you some insight on how to proceed.
The nuts holding the shrouds were British Standard Fine on Raga which were impossible to find in the US. Hull 123 was launched in 1973. Only an Englishman in ship repair trade would know that BSF was discontinued in the early 1970s.
Best of luck on your project
George

Trevor,
Thanks for your response. You brought good news that TMP was in business in late July of this year. With luck he will find my fax on the floor in front of the machine and envelope in the post when he returns.

Trevor,
I have been trying to reach Thamesway Marine Products. I have called and faxed the number on their website. I tried emailing the address on their website without a response. Would you have any current contact information? I’m interested in locating the rubber coupling between the output flange from my TMP MK IV 12000 gearbox. The diameter of the shaft is 1″3/8. I own CN 38 hull 123
thanks for your response

Adrian,
When we had the top off our Nick 38 we replaced the gasket with a garage door seal. Sorry I can’t remember the sealer I used on bottom of the gasket. No leaks in the past few years.
