[C38] Teak

[Dick Kilroy]

Larry: I would use a satin varnish. I used this on "Vixen" my  1978 Morgan 
38-2. Its heald up fine for 34 years, needs a little touching up now. I also 
stripped my Cat 38 with acetone 12 years ago and varnished it with satin as 
well, its heald up fine as well. This is below not on deck in both cases. 
I've had a couple of boat yard people who varnish tell me satin polyurethane 
is much  harder than gloss.

Good luck whatever you do.

Dick
