Andrei, I've used top quality varnish, hardware store quality
polyurethane and Cetol. Varnish quit first, 6 to 12 months, depending
on latitude; polyurethane maybe 50% longer, Cetol much longer. I did
the spars on my old Cape Cod Catboat several years ago, always in the
sun, still look great. Just bought Cetol Marine Light, less orangy it
says, haven't used it yet. But I think it may be the answer for me.
Will haul my tiller and rudder off soon, strip, sand and do them with
the Light. Check them on the web. Good luck.
