Paul – Swim ladder.
No your swim ladder I think made it’s
way to Arizona, it is on the back of my Freedom 28 and much appreciated when
the temp hits over 100!

interior teak varnish
Thanks Al. BTW, did you say earlier you had
obtained a swim ladder
for your newly purchased F30 from a Chesapeake Bay
sailor? If so, I
think it may have been mine, which I gave to Dick
Davis … I
removed it when I installed my swim platform.
cheers

I am in the process of doing a similar job on
my F30. Luckily for
me, the PO appears to have rarely oiled the
teak, so my teak is
quite
light in color. I have simply applied
Miniwax Helmsman Spar
Polyurethane (satin) over the existing
finish, such as it is. I
also
did a little testing, and this finish, and I
suspect most oil-
based
finishes, can be applied over a clean oil or
stain finish. So, if
your teak is now clean and bright, you do not
need to retsain it.
The only reason you might want to oil (not
stain) the wood would
be
to even out the color, if that is an
issue. Most varnishes will
darken any wood, some varnishes more than
others.
And when you find the right varnish for the
cabin sole, please let
know!

I am planning to clean the interior teak
on my F30, which has
become
dark, and revarnish with a clear coat or
two of matte finish. I
remember from previous posts that the
original finish was Watco
(whoever makes that), but I doubt I will
find it here. Since I
am
in Abaco, Bahamas, the choice of varnish
is going to be
limited.
Has anyone tried some of the better
known brands, e.g.
Varathane?
Also, do I have to remove all finish and
restain first? I have
used
Starbrite’s Teak Cleaner and Restorer,
sponging it off, and some
but
not all of the existing stain has come
off. It is lighter, but I
assume that any varnish I put on will
darken it.
Also, does anyone recommend
a varnish or other product to
apply
over the existing finish on the teak and
holly cabin sole, in
order
to protect it and hide scratches?
thanks for any advice
