Summary: 

The best finish for something that's going to be very wet is an epoxy.
The brand that immediately comes to mind is WEST system epoxy, an
American product.  This is absolutely waterproof - something that very
few coatings are.

But coming back to reality for a brief moment, your dishrack is not
going to be submerged for 24 hours a day.  What's the matter with a
good quality exterior varnish?  If that's insufficiently high-tech for
you, make it a polyurethane varnish.  Either will give a finish that
will be quite tough enough for your needs.
