Stus-List Exterior Teak hand rails and trim

[Donald Kern via CnC-List]

There was discussion on teak and what was the best application to 
apply.  However, on my '74 C&C35 Mk2 the exterior trim and handrails 
have been bare for the last 10 years (the varnish flacked off).  I kind 
of like the look of the lightly greyed teak, what are the disadvantages 
of not putting a finish on the teak?
