Teak and Holly floor

Guys, need a little advice here. Following the Winter layup I've discovered my teak and holly floor has a corner near the head where the finish has been damaged. Could likely be the antifreeze for the head spilled over when I Winterized her.
Question is: does anyone know what the finish is? Polyurethane, etc? I'd like to touch it up since the rest of it looks so nice.

I'm sorry I have no idea what the finish is. Poly is a good guess. But just a guess.

Skip, thanks for the reply. I was able to get with Gerry Hutchins and he doesn't actually remember what they used. His best guess was spar varnish, no stain or coloring. Looks like he might be correct so I'm going with either spar varnish or Cetol light which I believe is the same thing. My trials show the Cetol light is very close to what's on the floor. I'll just refinish the whole floor once I touch up the spots.
