Hi Pete-- Excellent! I don't like the small footpegs either, but it looks like you've created a solution that is durable and elegant too. I was going to go with a "Nick" footbrace for my Guillemot, but I think your solution is much better suited for footpumps.

Any photos of the tiedown rails? Are they for securing gear? I think I'm going to put a lot of internal tiedowns in my Guillemot before joining deck and hull so I have plenty of places to lash gear.
