David, the cockpit coamings aren't too big a job.  When I bought my Pearson 
Ariel, it needed new coamings, and the wooden part ahead of them..  Full of 
rot that had been covered.  I made them about 3" higher, ( which made the 
cabin look lower, and added a little more protection in the cockpit) and I 
made them out of mahogony.  A friend bought a 2 1/2 " thick plank long 
enought to do both jobs, we split it down the middle, planed it and , voila, 
matching grain.  I used teak stain, and 4 coats of Flecto Varithane, and only 
had to touch it up about every 2 years.  Much much cheaper than teak, and 
just as pretty, with the varnish.
If you do something to your teak, it sill blend in well.   It's a project, 
but not too bad.  I think it took a couple of weeks, off and on.
