It seems like with modern chemistry however that a finish could be
developed that would last longer on oily woods like teak and be more UV
resistant than varnish. Some people use Sitkins Cetol but I think it
looks horrible and does not stand up as well as advertised. Our house
has two large wood panel areas on the front that were finished with
Sitkins along with the two garage doors. They have been refinished
twice in 14 years and they need to be done again. We are not in a
marine environment. I think well applied polyurethane might be better.

I am not sure poly holds up that well in the sun and when it comes
time to strip it, you will appreciate the varnish.

It is, however, a good coating for oak floors. Ours are 11 years old
now, and the many coats of poly that were applied have held up
beautifully in terms of resisting wearing and cleaning.
