The teak will slowly wear away and become very porous.
I replaced the rails on our viking 33 and the 7/8 rails were more like 5/8. You could really see the wear at the connection points as they seems to flare a bit right at the deck.

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?
