We decided to take the opportunity to do some teak work while we have been in Cocoa.
When the boat was refit last year, the rigging was changed and controls for the main sail which used to be handled from the cockpit table are now elsewhere. This meant that we had a now superfluous winch in the middle of the cockpit table. Bob used this as a hat rack, but we decided removing it would make better use of the table for eating and entertaining purposes.
So our first teak project was to remove the winch and stain the weathered teak on the table with Cetol to make it a bit more attractive.
Now that Bob had experience working with Cetol, we also decided to touch up and put a new layer of gloss on the toerail. Now our teak is shiny and looking great still. This is a pretty easy maintenance project which if done once a year should keep the boat looking good.
