Leave it on and use it. When it has received a sufficient amount of
abuse (call it wear and tear), sand it way down and coat it with the
varnish of your choice.

If you try to build a more brittle finish (spar varnish is tough, yet
softer than a regular varnish) which does nat scrach so easily, it will
behave (possibly) like ice over mud. It will not be a very durable
finish. Also, the expansion rates of the 2 finishes will be different,
and that causes its own cracking.

What a heart-breaker!  Spar varnish is not real easy to strip, anyway.  The 
only alternative is to smile, kiss her, and live with it.  Wives are more 
important than finishes.

Someday someone will say 'why the hell did they put spar varnish on this?'
