Sailing Canoe re-varnish

The sailing canoe is stored on it's stand upside down and under tarps. this keeps it well protected from the elements but varnish doesn't last forever.  I checked on it and noticed some slight peeling so before the cold weather takes hold I figured now it the time to re-varnish.
I used 120 grit paper and gave it a complete sanding.  Then we sprayed on a a spar varnish thinned with naptha.  We used a semi-gloss formulation.  We will give it a couple days (or the winter) to dry then a light re-sand and re-spray.

After spray.
