Best wood finishing out there

[Sailingfun]

I started finishing my exterior wood one year ago.
Seems like a hundred years now... next I remember, caught between work and viral thing and literally, abandon the boat for a year.
I am back to finish the boat this week. The one-year finishing looks like I did it yesterday.
Highly recommendable product and really cheap if you compare it with varnish.
Two, 3 coats max and that's all!!
No more 7 varnish coat for me

Polyurethane makes for a very durable and beautiful finish, but i wouldn’t use it on wood exposed to the elements.

I use Cetol Marine for all the exterior bright work. IMO, looks great, goes on easy, stays put a long time. Less time vanishing means more time sailing.

I, myself, am a big Cetol fan for exactly the reasons @Bolo mentioned.
