As the UK’s only production manufacturer of teak decks with full depth seams for boats and yachts, Moody Decking and Services produces several thousand square metres of predominantly CNC programmed decking a year, using Alphacam software. The first time Alphacam was used in conjunction with their state-of-the-art digital scanner, it was a real sink or swim affair.

Boats priced from £5,000 up to £120m use Hampshire based Moody Decking’s teak decks, as their unique construction process ensures the decks last considerably longer than decks produced with traditional rebated seams.

Martin and Scott Moody are the fifth generation of their family to work...
