S&G: Re-finishing/maintenance advice?

My Pygmy Osprey HP is ready to be spruced up after some hard use last season. Any advice out there about re-finishing and taking care of the numerous scratches and dings? None are through the cloth; though a few are into it. Mostly, they're cosmetic.
So, how much wet-sanding and how many fresh coats of varnish? Any reason to cover scratches with epoxy first? How long can a good varnish job stand up anyway? Is this something wood kayak owners do every year? Thanks. I'm tackling it this weekend.
