[Ian McColgin]

Teak is not often (ever?!?) used for spars as it's a bit brittle, as well as heavy. As pointed out, it does not hold glue that well, though none of my own teak/epoxy joints have failed. Just have to be careful, acetone wash, and all that.

Even for a short bow sprit, teak feels wrong.

But, different boats, different longsplices.

G'luck
