I agree with KLC. "Varnish" today is not the same as the traditional
varnish from 50 years ago. I've been using Interlux Goldspar which is a
single part polyurethane "varnish". Eight coats and you have a beautiful
clear and shiny finish. Eight coats of Cetol and you have mud.


EIGHT COATS? Are you looking for excuses to avoid sailing?

CWM

The initial application takes time and effort. After that, maintenance is as
easy as Cetol with vastly superior appearance. Annual scuff, clean, topcoat.
With proper wood prep, it will not peel or flake. After many years, you
might want to remove and redo -- is that so difficult? If so, go ahead and
paint your wood. ;-)
