The Athena 38 is renowned for its performance, reliability, and easy handling, making it a favored choice among bluewater cruisers and coastal sailors alike. With a shallow draft and a generous beam, this catamaran offers excellent stability, ample deck space, and a bright, airy salon perfect for entertaining or relaxing during long passages. The fiberglass construction ensures durability while keeping maintenance straightforward and manageable. In 2010, the vessel received a significant propulsion upgrade with twin Yanmar 3YM30 engines, each showing less than 2,000 hours of use, delivering trusted power and fuel efficiency. For peace of mind underway, the standing rigging was replaced in 2018. This Athena 38 is fully equipped for extended cruising with a high-output Spectra watermaker producing 16 gallons per hour, 400 watts of solar panels, and a robust 300Ah Renogy lithium house bank. A 50 amp DC to DC charger further ensures your energy needs are fully met, letting you enjoy ultimate autonomy while at anchor or offshore. Take advantage of this opportunity to own a proven, ready-to-go cruising catamaran. Minimal preparations are needed to set sail for your next adventure this season!

1. Remove the old caulking. We use a special tool from @teakdeckingsystems. 2. If your deck is both screwed and glued, considwe removing the screws. We chose to remove the screws since they only created a possibility for water to enter the construction. 3. Fill out every screw hole with epoxy. During the renovation, we learned it would be a good idea to fill the holes with epoxy as soon as you remove the screws to ensure you seal every single hole. 4. Route between all the teak strips. We routed all the way to the gel coat to have as much wood to work with as possible. We used a fine cutter where the caulking was across the grain. 5. Seam sanding. It helps remove the remaining caulking and gives the teak a fresh bonding surface. 6. Masking the teak strips. We chose to mask the wood to reduce the sanding process later on because we knew the teak wasn’t very thick. 7. Cleaning off with acetone. This helps remove dust and gives the caulking the best conditions to adhere to the wood and cure. 8. Start caulking. We used an air compressor caulking gun. It makes the process easier for large surfaces that need caulking - we used SIS 440 from @teakdeckingsystems. We also used a 3D-printed applicator for the caulk head, which minimizes the amount of caulking used. I could only find it on @hfindustrimarineaps website. 9. “Spoon” caulk further into the seams. We used a flexible putty knife to smoothing the caulking. 10. Pull off the masking. While removing the tape, we used scissors to cut just before the area where it hadn’t been caulked yet. 11. Remove the top of the caulking. We used a sharp stanley knife. We did this to minimize sanding, just as we did with masking. 12. Sanding with grit 80. We used the fine cutter’s sanding head for all the edges and an orbital sander for the larger areas. Side note: Sanding with grit 40. We believe the best way is to sand before routing to even out the wood. Unfortunately, we had many places where the wood was so worn out that it wouldn’t have been possible to follow the old tracks with the router after sanding. #diy #sailing #sailingdiy #teak #teakdeck #sailingdenmark #boatwork #shortoftheday
