[Alberg30] care of teak

[Lorelei23 at aol.com]

When I purchased my A30 last August, the former owner told me that the inside 
teak should be "oiled" with lemon/teak oil (he left two different kinds on 
the boat) about every two months.  He told me to "really slather it on" and 
probably not to use the boat for a week after application because the floors 
would be so slippery.  He stated that the wood would dry out and crack 
otherwise.

Since purchasing the boat, others have told me that this is incorrect.  All 
that oil darkens the wood.

So could you all please share your expertise on this matter.  The boat is a 
1966.  She is wonderful and I want to take good care of her.  I'm having all 
the deck wood (toe rail, laz. covers, etc. refinished by a professional).   

I would sincerely appreciate your input.
