Hej Björn
Så blev Panthera færdig. 20,3 kg alt inklusiv.
Jeg har lige en tætning omkring en styreline, der ikke er hærdet ud, så den kommer først i vandet på fredag (det skulle have været i dag).
Tusind tak for hjælp og support, nu krydser jeg fingre for at jeg bliver glad for at ro i den, men selvfølgelig gør jeg det.
Med venlig hilsen
Steffen
