: My Sea Spirit is ready for varnishing. Has anybody come up with a method for
: varnishing both the deck and the hull at the same time?

Bobby,

It looks great.
I had similar thoughts about varnishing top and bottom at the same time. One idea would be to pass a metal or otherwise sturdy rod through the holer for the grab loops in the bow and stern. Then you could tie to those on both sides, hoist the boat in the air, and work on both sides. The rod would have to be quite snug to balance the boat.
I ended up taking the long way home, and varnishing top and bottom separately.

Good Luck,

Angela
