Simple answer - if you like gray teak, not a problem. If you want "pretty"
teak, hire at least 10 people full time. Don't know about the cool vs. warm
statements.

  Subject: [worldcruising] Teak Decks

  Greetings:

  I'm seriously considering making an offer on a 1978 - 37' Tayana Cutter
with
  teak decks. I have not seen the boat yet, but I'm informed it is in good
  shape. My concern is with the teak decks. What is involved with keeping a
  teak deck in good shape? How long do teak decks typically last? I
understand
  that in the tropics teak decks are great for keeping the cabin cool, by
  simply wetting the deck with water, but on the other hand I don't want to
  spend all my time maintaining the boat.
  There must be some knowledge on this subject in the group. I'd like to
hear
  about the pro's and con's before I make an offer.

  Cheers!
  Rik
