FWIW, the exposed teak ply on my boat has darkened over time. If I remove a fixture such as a clock, the teak underneath is much lighter.

The teak is so light in most places so as to throw you off that it is teak at all. It is still a bit of a work in progress for me, but I found that a quick wipe with mineral spirits can, depending on the wood condition, actually darken it just enough to then follow with the lacquer. If I need to darken it a bit more (where UV has bleached the wood), I would use a little Watco Natural Danish Oil. Even that, given our blonde wood can go a shade darker than I'd like pretty easily. I can say for sure though that regular varnish was WAY too dark for our interior. I tried it on the nav station top and had to strip it and scrape to clean wood and try again. I would be curious to know just how often C&C put out boats with the light wood, and if there is a better solution than what I am trying...

My 37/40 has a light lacquer on the teak below decks which is nice because it lightens up the interior. My problem is matching the existing color when fixing water damage.

Using lacquer thinner and alcohol is enough to soften it/ use it as a remover. Following the with a furniture scraper or equipment was good enough to allow my to redcoat with lacquer.

I would like to apply some Epiphanes to all of it--and there is a lot of it inside my 1995 C&C! However, much of it has 'water stains' from various leaks over the years--most of which are now sealed. My question for the list is how or whether to remove these stains--they are not like water marks left by a glass on a wooden table. They are mostly on vertical surfaces and run vertically. There are enough of them to make sanding them a formidable job so I want to be sure that sanding would be necessary. Some web videos show using heat (iron, blow dryers, etc.) to drive the remaining water out and make the stain disappear which is easy enough to try. Anyone on the list have suggestions to reduce the scale of this job--putting several coats of varnish on all of it would be a formidable job in itself--adding sanding to the surface prep, which I realize is probably the most important part of the job, could make it virtually impossible!
