: Has anyone used Necky footbraces? Dealer here thinks they could be made to
: operate a rudder -- They are $27 Canadian. Current Designs have a set
: which will convert to slidders and will do a rudder but are $87. (I know
: this is pocket change to the Americans but I'm cheap enough that I want to
: save the dough if possible). I have not seen the Necky but have used the
: Current Design ones and they do work.
: thanks
: don

As far as I know, Current Designs use Yakimas.
They've been in every CD boat I've tried, at least.

You can get them here:

for $55 CDN instead of 87. I think that includes sliders, but I'm not sure.

Noah's has Yakimas, as well, for a similar price.

Don't know anything about Neckys.
