Teak
We had let the teak go too long, so we stripped it down to bare wood and
started over. What a project - Gypsy Wind has a LOT of teak! But
she looks soooooooooooooo beautiful! I don't have pictures of
everything, or the whole process, because I was busy working on the teak
rather than taking pictures - but here are a few...
Getting down to bare teak took some elbow grease - but it was worth it.
We sanded all of the old
Cetol off - and there were several coats to get through!

Teak around the cockpit with Cetol Light applied. We used four
coats of Cetol Light and topped the teak with three coats of Cetal clear.
I wish I had a before picture of this. The companion way door looked
nothing like this. We stripped it down - including the louvers - and
they turned out fantastic!
