Out of interest Beneteau make a replacement mat of teak pre chalked and cut to fit for the swim grid and the seats.

I thought the price was not to bad when taken the additional 15 percent discount for on line ordering.

It would be all original which appeals to me.

So.... I am leaning towards that approach. The other thing Beneteau has a pretty good price on is the Lewmar replacement portlights. 

Take the 15 points off and I think it makes sense to just put in new portlights versus buying lens.

Flexiteek is a great material.. looks good with very easy maintenance BUT the surface becomes extremely hot in the sun. So hot that you can't stand on it without shoes or putting something down over it.  They may have come up with another version to correct this.
