The selection of deck materials and accessories is essential to enhance the practicality of the boat, and we’re not just talking about high-tech tools for winning at regattas, such as the latest generation of winches, but also about upholstery. Whether one opts for composite materials, cork or synthetic alternatives, each solution has specific advantages in terms of design, durability and handling over classic teak, which is less preferred today. In addition, for a deck that is always functional, don’t forget accessories such as sun shades and bimini: they provide greater comfort for the entire crew on hot days and during port stops.
