If you don't have a big compressor, an at least temporary spray booth with an explosion-proof fan, and a good respirator I wouldn't bother. You could pay someone to spray your boat for you a lot of times before you'd see a return on your investment.

If you're spraying- you probably wouldn't want to spray a varnish anyway, you'd be best off spraying a commercial marine finish like Awlcraft, which is pretty toxic, especially if you're not properly equipped.
