Hi Bjorn,
Hope all is good.
Well I finally completed my Panthera that I started 5 years ago! (albeit always some tweaks to make). (BTW Your reference will be added to the boat name, some problem with die cutting the font at the printers).
I did recess the coaming and also made a cutout lifting handle. I think it adds a little character, but it was a lot of extra work really. I have the idea of incorporating it into a panther paint design as an eye, in the future.
So after swearing I'd never make another boat, because of the work involved and being busy with creating sculptures, I'm now thinking of making another one for my wife. I guess I'm very impressed by the boat now I've been able to paddle it, and I learned a lot about boat building, which seems like a waste if I don't make another.
Thanks,
Jeremy
