It appears that the Cetol vs. varnish issue has been thoroughly digested at least for the time being. Has anyone had any experience with the new product Bristol Finish that is being marketed by Ctech Marine? I understand that it is to be on display at the Miami Boat Show, but I don't know whether it has been in the market long enough for anyone to try it. Reportedly it is a two part high gloss finish like varnish that has the wear and maintainability characteristics of Cetol. It's other feature is that multiple coats can be applied in one day vs. having to wait 24 hours between coats as with Cetol.
