You will get grooves in the teaks grain, and the teak will eventually loose its
structural integrity. I just had to make new hand rails due to the lack of a
protective coating on them. The teak toerail required extensive sanding to come
close to a smooth surface before applying cetol. Doug Mountjoy sv Rebecca Leah

Exterior Teak hand rails and trim
There was discussion on teak and what was the best application to
apply. However, on my '74 C&C35 Mk2 the exterior trim and
handrails have been bare for the last 10 years (the varnish flacked
off). I kind of like the look of the lightly greyed teak, what are
the disadvantages of not putting a finish on the teak?
