On large transoms, particularly in warm weather, we always use two people for the last couple of coats. We roll and tip, it doesn't take long, but it has to go on quick and thin but with no holidays. One guy rolls and spots and the other guy brushes it out.
That toe rail looks pretty bad. I don't think it's going to hold varnish long no matter what you do. It will look good when you're done but by the end of the summer it will probably deteriorate. Suggest to the owner that he let the toe rail go gray or use cetol (the new cetol teak doesn't look bad.)
Take into consideration that if it rains, you have to retape. That can take a lot of time to do it right - especially around hand rails. Also, if the hand rails are on a no-skid surface, varnish will always get under the edge.
Gotta go to work now. More later.
