In Response To: Strip: Thigh braces? (Claudia Holderegger)

: I am about to start building the cockpit of my Redfish King and
: would like to add thigh braces. Does anyone have a good pattern
: for where they should go, how long and wide they should be etc.?

: Thanks!
: Claudia

I just take my digital camera to the kayak store, try on boats that fit well and have cockpits that are similiar in size and take pictures and copy them.

There really isn't a general rule for where they go, they have to fit you.
