We stripped and varnished the 1958 Owens cruiser in 1962 or 3. It was
re-varnished with Varithane marine. about 10 years later it was sanded
and recoated. never peeled. It was mahogany and mahogany plywood.
My homemade sailboat, however, peeled. It was Varithane, but not marine.
the paint factory store sold a couple of brands of marine paint (not
their product) and they said to use Varithane marine.

I finished an outdoors table I made in Minwax spar varnish thinking that
was the correct finish for something exposed to UV all day, every day, just
like a boat. In three years it looks like one of the worst cases of clear
coat peel you've ever seen.
My brother-in-law is a merchant marine captain and long time sailor, so I
asked him what went wrong. He said - nothing, you have to sand and re-coat
the wood every year!
