Teak versus Marine Wood

Would it be against the sailors code to replace outside teak with this marine polymer wood that stands up to weathering better? I have found a supplier of teak and this marine specialty wood locally. Obviously the marine wood is lower and holds up better, but would you regret losing the look of Teak for the convenience of not refinishing it twice a year?
