: A little off topic, but what about your feet? Do they just rest on the skin?
: I'm thinking of running a narrow strip of "floor" on eith side
: the keel, in the section forward of the cockpit. That would give my heels
: somewhere to rest, and possibly something to attach a foot brace to.

: Will

I put floorboards, footboards? in mine. Just a narrow section of ply, around 4" on each side of the keel. Works fine. Only time this wouldn't work would be with an extremely low deck design.
