agreed we only had the back deck ( it’s massive) and the bathing platform done. We went for “faded teak” it’s a bit more
modern than some of those more traditional shades I think. Very smart
What I had on my last boat. Loved it. 6 years of abuse later it still looked great. Also the faded less hot underfoot on our 3 sunny days.

Real teak on this boat but it was mostly too good to rip up. I’d never spec real teak again.

For regular cleaning Screwfix no nonsense degreaser. Scotchbrite along the “grain” for ingrained stuff.

For annual cleaning the yard 3 phase jet wash.

For scratches or hard to remove marks 100 grit sandpaper along the “grain”.

my T46 does 32 knots plus with 2x 480s. You’ll be more than 31 WOT I reckon therefore. Main thing is you can sit at 20+ with a bit of fouling and a big crew with no effort.
That’s interesting, I screwed up years ago with my Squadron, had the smaller engine option revs always too high, my previous 1250 had the big engine option for its time which was 425’s and that was not trying at 22 knots so this should be better still
