Teak hulls versus English oak

What were the advantages and disadvantages of a teak hull compared with English oak?

Teak seems to resist warm-water rot and biological growth better. Oak seems slightly easier to repair, and copper sheathing improves its performance.

Teak appears better suited to the heat and warm waters of the Far East, where it resists local rot and biological growth better than oak. Copper sheathing improves oak's performance below the waterline. Oak also seems slightly easier to repair than teak. Each timber therefore has advantages, and the comparison depends on the waters and maintenance demands involved.
