AMAZING Faucher 717

I hate to disagree, but oil is probably the most common finish on teak. The wood boats I see most often are Mahogony with a polymer finish. I dont know what was used as a finish prior to urethanes, possibly oil as well, I know the older wooden boats have to be filled with water and you wait untill water stops running out of them which indicates the wood has swelled and sealed before you could launch them.

Older wooden boats here (ie early/mid 1900) still go through that painful experience (sink 'em, pump 'em and use 'em) every year. They need a lot fo attention but it's worth it
