Greetings all, I have an old Marine Trader Europa from 1986. As with all older boats it needs some maintenance, and now I have to do something with the teak window frames. Does anybody of you know how they were treaded from the beginning? And do you have a good suggestion how to treat them and example of products to use? Jan Olander Stockholm, Sweden Marine Trader 36 Europa, Easy Livin?

Look in the archive for good advice in removing /repairing. Actually not that big a job if you don't break the frames on removal. As to refinishing, consider sealing and painting to reduce the annual maintenance load. My experience is that amazingly, the biggest danger to windows is the small amount of dirt that accumulates in the smallest crevices. This feeds very small insects and over freeze/thaw conditions allows the dirt to slowly detach even the best adhesives.
