I have no experience with TeaQua either - but, with such little teak on a P28, varnishing may not be that much work - considering you're just talking about handrails, toerails and hatchboards. There's no mistaking the difference a well-maintained varnish job has over anything else on the market today.

However - as pretty as it looks . . . I hate the initial 8-10 coats traditional varnish requires, the bi-annual, between coat sanding and varnish recoating of exterior teak.

With all the exterior teak on my boat, after stripping, I chose to apply 3 coats of Cetol Light, with only ONE annual maintenance coat of Cetol clear gloss . . . no sanding between coats, and with experience, no blue tape needed either. Looks great!
