I'm involved in a project to replace the teak aft deck on a trawler.
Is there a method of construction that DOES NOT require penetrating
the substrate with screws.

Yes. Wonderfully described at West System's 'Epoxyworks' publication.

I agree with Jim on the WEST system, particularyly with using a resiliant type of caulk between planks. I have a friend who used the hard black carbon type WEST filler and he had problems when the wood expanded and contracted and the hard black epoxy filler did not. Also, keep in mind the WEST system requires using a very thin plank....1/4" I think. >> Stay informed about: Teak Decks

IPE decks are sometimes built using plastic oval washers Grooves are cut in the plank sides and attched to the framing underneath with ss screws. So nothing is visible topsides. The planks have a small gap. and the srews have small narrow heads. Aso special brackets that attach on the side of the plank and then into the framing. I think I have seen in the catalogs.

Assuming the strucgture is OK, an easy and very effective method is applying something like DURABAK <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.nonslipcoating.com/" target="_blank">http://www.nonslipcoating.com/</a> right over the existing teak. It can be a DIY application without too much problem and is extremely durable with minimal ongoing maintenance. Now available in various colors. I haven't personally used this product as I wound up with a GB Woodie where the prior owner had redone the decks with fiberglass (avery nice but I wouldn't have wanted to pay for it). I've seen the results and read various user experiences. If I still had teak decks, this is definately the way I would go. Luck, Everett<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Teak Decks
