    1/09/2022 I was able to meet with the owner and get a tour of the vessel. 

    The exposed teak is treated with "boat soap"  as described here

    "Boat Soap" gave me pause for a second . 

    There is a ongoing YouTube video called Salt & Tar that I really like . They use the soup on all their wood . Tar on their rigging . Their rigging is Galvanized steel . Come to think of it they should call their videos Soup and Tar .

    In this episode (#54) they mix up some soup and put on their mast .
