The best but difficult
There's not much to say here; this is definitely the clear marine varnish.
Unfortunately, due to drying times and the application of coats, it's not easy to apply if you want mirror-like results.

Painting the wooden railing on the boat
I'm very satisfied with the 1-component high-gloss clear coat in terms of application and the result. It's easy to use and very economical. I'm very happy with the result. I will order it again.

excellent
This paint is already legendary among water sports enthusiasts.

My boat, built in 1958, wooden mast, cockpit, cabin, interior, all OK.

Good workmanship.

Great in the sun.

Good workmanship
Good product, freshly opened, with very good application. Contrary to the recommendation, I rolled it on instead of brushing, which worked well. One minor issue was that after opening the can several times (to fill the required amount), the residue inside eventually became a bit resinous.

No surprises... Epifanse is a legend...
Easy to apply, does what you expect, and fits perfectly. It's more difficult to apply than some competing products and a bit more expensive, but the results never disappoint. The paint could just last a bit longer... otherwise, it's the best in my opinion.

The best one part yacht varnish. As simple as that.
I have used this varnish for over 30 years and varnished many boats with it, mostly in the Mediterranean where the sun is brutal on varnish and there is no better single part yacht varnish. The consistency of this product is legendary. It is always the same. Fantastic quality and if applied heavily enough drags out the brush lines and leaves a deep and shiny finish which lasts. I have tried many other makes and they are all very good by Epifanes stands head and shoulders above them all. Maybe not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Easy to process
The varnish goes on very well. I painted my wooden tiller with it. The surface turned out beautifully smooth without having to take any special care when painting. I can't say anything about the UV resistance or scratch resistance yet.
