After using mostly low VOC paints on the rest of the boat, putting spar varnish on the spars sure does stink a lot. Originally I was going to varnish them inside until I opened the can and stirred it around. The boat now has a second coat of paint on the bottom. The mast has two coats of varnish, the yard and boom have a single coat. The hatch covers have two coats on one side. The dragons have been cut out.
