Hi David, Never saw that before but suspect water leaked through the gap between your slider and drop boards. Some kind of bug may be eating the teak. Have you observed any strange mites or spiders in that area?
I'd spray with a good bug spray for insects, cut away any loose stuff, treat w Git Rot and cover with a very thin piece of teak trim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3dKSkPwP2M Chuck > On 01/10/2021 11:43 AM David Knecht via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > wrote: > > > I discovered last Fall that I had an area of the side paneling near the > top of the companionway steps where the wood panel is completely rotted away. > I had not noticed anything until I noticed the hole.
