Hi guys, Some little words from the DE 29 builder😉. One of the reasons I didn’t share all the changes I wanted to make was the fact that I didn’t know everything in advance. An other reason was that if someone would tell me: I’m going to add 4ft in length, 8” more freeboard, raise the cockpit and th...
