There is a lot of interior teak on your 35MKII. The interior finish was a large part of my decision nearly 20 years ago to buy a MKII and not a MKI 35. My interior teak gets lemon oil once a year if I remember and feel energetic. Alianna is a 1974 model so 47 years old this year and looking great. I will never coat it with varnish or urethane. I did update the sliding cabinet closures with dark plexi and more modern looking handles. One of my favourite pass times is sitting at the nav table enjoying music and refreshments on the mooring and admiring the interior marine carpentry
