I prefer Honey Teak but Cetol is a good second choice. Cetol is sold at most marine supply stores. Honey Teak is only sold by the manufacturer who is located in Port Salerno, Florida.

Honey Teak withstands the Florida sun very well.

Both products were reviewed very favorably by Practical Sailor.

For Honey Teak, phone 407-287-6077 and ask for Tom. He is very pleasant and is full of free advice.

I use Interlux Clipper Clear polyurethane. It's a great finish. Many
people object to varnish but they usually don't apply it properly or
skimp on the amount of coats. I initially sand with 80 grit wipe down
with acetone and apply a thinned 1st coat for adhesion of all sub-
sequent coats. I use 280 grit between coats. 7 coats minimum. Some
prefer to use a finer grit like 320 before applying final coat to reduce underlying reflectivity of uv rays. I use this in Florida with
excellent success. Epiphanes is also quite good against uv but Clipper
Clear is more durable and is clear in color, the teak is beautiful.
Remember quality preparation is the key to successful varnish work!
You could use Awlgrip but $$$$$$$$.
