: What's your opinion on a footrest, � la Mac McCarthy style
: (Featherweight Boatbuilding), for a yost sea tour 15 exp. A
: piece of dowel or bamboo attachted with some string to the
: chines. easily adjustable, lightweight, inexpensive.

: Looks like the simplest footrest out there, apart from using a
: frame section.

I don't use them in the SOF's, seems un-natural for some strange reason.

I'd pad a bulkhead if I had to have them.
