clear (non yellow tint) varnish recommendation?

Hi All:

am getting ready to start varnishing my hull.  but due to the color scheme of the boat, i need a clear (no yellow tint) varnish for the deck (becuase it is stained pickled/white).

is there a one part clear (non yellow) marine varnish anybody can recommend?

thanks

RE: clear (non yellow tint) varnish recommendation?

   h, I tried Epifanes Rapid Clear although others swear by it this was my result

Instead I went with West systems WR LPU paint it comes in clear gloss or satin.

Used over Mohawk oxblood red stain on my sailrig ama decks. Worked well

thinned with penetrol but watch the humidity it has an effect on the drying time.

Used with crosslinker it drys very hard. 
 

Good luck , PP

RE: clear (non yellow tint) varnish recommendation?

My experience with Epifanes RapidClear continues to be 100% positive.  I put it on my GIS 3.5 years ago and it still looks great.  I will admit that boat gets light usage and is stored inside.  I also have it on three of my race boats which get very heavy usage.  In the picture below, the Mystery (3rd from left) is 2.5 years old without touchup.  For comparison, the Wahoo (2nd from left) has Schooner.

I still prefer high gloss (like Schooner) for boats where appearance is the primary concern.
