tally ho, wood boat etiquette is all but lost. open pore teak decks and cockpit seats are very comfortable and offer nice traction. many coat the wood with protective sealers and such, i do not, because then it becomes something else. as a gaurdian of such decks for 45 years now i can teach you that one large potatoe chip's oil can leave a dark oil stain for ten years. you never want to scrub the teak hard at all, ever. allot of crackers too have lots of oil, not good. i hate spray sun tan stuff. the staining to the decks are unreal.
also, wood boat etiquette is that take your shoes off to board the boat then you put your boat only deck shoes on. the souls of boat shoe pick up fine gravel that will destroy the varnished teak and holly floor boards down below. same results if the wood vessel has a canvas covered deck. no street worn shoes ever, ever. well, there are exceptions ........
fifty years ago, all the boats were made this way,
times change , ediquette's needs change.
