Fine craftsmanship, Westie. Too early for me to get excited about the boat.
Pink Rain....or purple depending upon your perspective......
Wow, that is unusual light.
A video of us trying to leave Porto in the rough stuff...
Nasty movie! Good ending though.
Two words come to mind.
Thats GREAT music in your video, what is it?
Hah!
Well that's what sailing is all about but only for an afternoon not a delivery...:)!!!
Geez Justin, didn't all that loud music add to the stress??
Shades of spring.

Question about Ipé
No and yes. I got it at Crosscut as decking material, nominal 1X4. Not, IMHO, suitable for handrails..
I am redoing my side and aft decks this year and am considering using ipe
If I understand, you're going ala' Gougeon Bros decking laid in epoxy?
Actually, if you're going to screw it down and use regular caulk material for decking....
...that's "half inch wide twenty foot long"...
The plan is to make up panels...
Sounds like a better plan to use something other than Ipe'.
I'm going to use Honduran mahogany @ about 3.50 / linear foot of handrail.
I used painted H. Mahog rails, storebought, and they lasted on Passage..still. No issues.
Splinters beware...
