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

I recently launched my second kayak build, a Black Pearl.
The project (drawings, strips, and epoxy) was offered for sale just after I finished my first build (a Nanoq). Someone had bought it back in 2008 and never got around to starting. It seemed to good to pass up and I’m glad I did.
It’s been fun to build, and I am quite pleased with the finished result. I do dream of a workshop that allows me to maintain proper heat for working with epoxy during the colder months though. Any woodworker's dream I suppose.
Final weight, including 2 Whetman hatches, Kajaksport skeg and lines, ended up at 20.5kg
