That's what I've found. The sun is plenty strong here at 43 N (same as Northern California, after all) and if you add up the six month stretches, I average 18 months of exposure before a triple coat and a buff between coats starts to go. By contrast, I dock bow to the south, and my companionway hatch (the only other exposed teak) lasts facing north for much longer, getting direct sun early morning and late evening May-August, max. Cetol's fine for me. If I was fool enough to buy a traditional "woody" boat, I would reconsider. Same if I was anchored at the Equator for months on end. R. |
