for the teak on Brendon. I have covers for just about everything but rarely use them. What's the use having beautifully varnished teak if no one can see it. If I leave the boat for any length of time, especially in the tropics, I'll put the covers on but if I'm going to be around then I'm going to enjoy the look of varnished teak. Call me a nut or anything else you like but I'm willing to pay the price. Having said that, I have no problem with anyone who wants to cove up such a labor intensive part of their boat.
