Thin even coats and lots and lots and lots of patience.
I used V-Spar Flagship varnish on a canoe I built last summer. I found that if I thinned the varnish about 10% with mineral spirits that it flowed on better with fewer runs. After I applied the varnish to an area I tipped it off ONCE with long even LIGHT strokes to get as even a coat as possible. Good light is really critical so you can catch those run before the varnish starts to set.
There are some varnishing hints at the bottom of the page below.
