Default Teak brightwork ,, ARMADA ,, anyone??

Jere ,, what about the color? Lots of talk that the color of Cetol is bad..
has that been a problem? Is this something that can be controled?

Absolutely agreed.



Truth be told, few can tell the difference between clear and Cetol from
50 feet away; fewer cruisers care.


Now here I disagree on both points. Cruisers do care about
the looks of their boats. And if you've ever seen really
nice brightwork, it can easily be told from Cetol at 50' or
even 100'.

Is that small detail worth the extra work? Up to you.

Personally, I don't, which is why I don't work on the
varnish on our boat. In times past, I have maintained a few
wooden boats, two of which were in showroom-perfect
condition much of the time. Getting it there is really the
work intensive part, once it's there, it only takes a little
on a regular basis to keep it. But most people (myself
included these days) don't have the persistence.
