refinished all teak, i used a cabbott "red mahogany" and cabbott polyurethane semigloss. I setteled on cabbott after trying a couple of other brands. I am glad i painted the bulkheads, they show off the teak.
After much experimentation with products and techniques, these are the final products used to finish. My Girl was moderately oxidized, meaning no shiney spots at all, but not as bad a a piece of chalk. To get a reflection, you MUST USE WET SANDPAPER. Trust me on this, you cannot get a gloss by just buffing, even buffing several times over and over again.
A good case for finishing your teak. It is just too pretty this way as opposed to the "ignored gray" finish alot of people use. I used cetol "natural teak" as recommended by appleman.
I fashioned the floorboards from cherry. I used a lighter stain on them and used cetol because it is not slippery as polyurethane. I initially put sand on it, but sanded it off as i didn't like it. it does not seem slippery.

I painted the areas i repaired with interlux brightside. the "grand banks beige" matched the non skid closely. You can see that i raised the area at the chainplate slighly to keep water from puddling around the plate.
I installed NewFoundMetals Trimatrix ports. The ports have a rubber gasket and do not need sealent. So far the only trouble i have had is getting the adjustment right on the latches. So far no leaks
new forward hatch and trimatrix ports installed, also shows repaired area of mast and chainplates. Note that i elevated the areas of attachment to try to decrease tendency to leak. Paint matches ok. Maybe i should have tried to use gelcoat.
