[C320-list] Companionway hatch repair

[David Nolte]

I have used Cetol Marine Teak finish on my hatches a couple times over the years. Will do again this Spring. Has worked great.

I have a 1994 with hull number 121. Dave Hupe has given me a few recommendations. I am wondering if anyone knows the exact stain/color/material? I have my Materials and Equipment Log sheet for the boat but it does not list hatchboards or ladder steps. It lists Sherman Williams sealer and finish, Satin #9921 for the cabin sole. It lists Eco, Water Base, Satin, for the interior varnish.
