Woodwork The finish we used on teak woodwork was called Guardsman Finishing Oil (product # 14-30-50). We used this product both on the interior and exterior teak wood work. Guardsman Finishing Oil is still available from Guardsman Chemicals. You can contact their headquarters and find out where you may purchase this product locally. Their address is 1350 Steele S.W. Grand Rapids, Michigan 49507; or phone 616) 452-5181. S2 Yachts is no longer using this product as the amount of teak we are presently using in our power boats is considerably less than in days gone by. The finish we used on interior teak & holly flooring was just a satin finish polyurethane varnish, available at any paint store, paint department, etc. Keep in mind the above products are what we used originally, and we have no idea what may have been used on your boat since. The teak handrails on the cabin top of many S2 models were not 'pre-bent' or cut on a curve. These handrails were cut to their respective trapezoidal profile on a table saw. Once they were bolted at one end, they were then bent in place and progressively drilled and fastened from one end to the other. This operation may take 2-3 people. We are no longer able to produce the cabin-top handrails for any of our sailboats. We can not, nor could we ever, match your boat's wood grain by referring your hull number. Our thanks to the bozo that started that rumor, Mr. Fishguts we presume. We are the most expensive possible source for teak lumber. You can order teak through your local lumber yard, or boat yard.
