As a kind of encore, while visiting the Austrian Boat Show once again after so many years, Norbert will also be talking about his projects to fans and interested visitors at the ÖSYC booth on February 27 at 3:30 p.m. 🗓️, followed by an open-ended small talk session.

Norbert is looking forward to many interesting conversations and a “meet and great” with his “oldest fan club” the “good old Austrian one!”😊
