Richard,
Strip the varnish and coat them with clear epoxy, then 4-5 coats of varnish.
They will stay dry and look great. They epoxy will keep the water out and
the varnish will make them shine. I used the same process on my cutting
board in the galley. Great results.

Subject: Stus-List painting/varnishing wooder oars
Greetings,
INDIGO has wooden oars in the Avon dinghy. They sit in the dink bottom and,
consequently, are prone to sitting in water. The original crappy varnish has
come off. Is there any painting process that can bear up to the occasional
(and possible!) Long-term dunking? Is my only alternative plastic
replacements?
Thank you,
Richard
