I have never heard that the Whitby 42 has screwed together decks. I recommended them based on my experience with the robustness of my Dad's Brewer 12.8 (a derivative of the Whitby. which has a bolted hull top deck joint)and from several owners that I have gotten to know over the years who have done circumnavs in Whitby's.
Many of not most Cabos still have teak decks. While I personally would not buy a boat with teak decks, I'm not buying this boat and Livia, who is actually buying this boat, is considering other boats with teak decks.
While my comments on old fiberglass, and blisters reflect my understanding of these items and clearly point at the downside of these elements, I hoped I also pointed out that we each decide what is important to each of us, and that old glass or former blisters are realities to bare in mind, but for most of us it was not a deal breaker.
