I agree with the handrail covers idea; actually I have two sets; one for summer
and one for winter layup; they are both worth they're weave in gold!

Nate,
I had handrail covers made as well. They are worth their weight in gold. I
still overcoat the handrails every year. The bases sometimes get a little sun
when the cover flips up. I have snaps centered in each loop and they do a
pretty good job of keeping the covers on.

So after several years of refinishing handrails annually (or maybe every other
year when I was sloppy), I finally added sunbrella handrail covers - and based
on one year's experience, my handrails are now immortal and their finish is
close to immortal. The covers were a minor addition to a new dodger order,
though there are online sources too. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner.
Handrail covers are rare around here (I'm now the only one with them in my 50
boat marina), but every time I take them off to go sailing, and look at a very
nice shiny teak finish, looking just a perfect as the last time they were
uncovered, I don't understand why they are rare. For all the cost and effort or
replacing handrails eroded or sanded to oblivion, not to mention the effort and
cumulative cost of refinishing them, I would strongly recommend getting covers.
and, BTW, this year I'm no longer sure why we live here.....
