what kind of footbraces did you build?

: I never change the position of my footbraces. But anytime someone else
: paddles my boat, the braces need to be repositioned. So adjustable
: footbraces are preety much a necessity.

: It certainly is easier to put them in before the deck is on, but I put my
: first set in after putting the deck on. I built complete footbrace
: subassemblies, laid the kayak on one side, and glued the whole subassembly
: in place.
