I used Honey Teak on my topsides wood this year, and I have been pleased with 
the results.  Practical Sailor ranked it above Cetol and below only one other 
finish, which sounded much more difficult to apply.  Honey Teak has a 
pleasing color, the finish is reported to be stable (in color and durability 
and gloss) over time, and you can apply as many coats in a day as your arms 
will allow, as it goes on wet over wet, with no sanding between coats.
