In Response To: Footbraces (Jim Martin)

: I'm at the stage on my Georgian Bay of seaming the hull and deck. After
: checking the archives I still have some questions. The instructions for
: attaching the footbraces are to drill through the hull after seaming. I
: can't think of a reason not to attach them to the hull now, using a short
: block of wood, epoxied to the hull as the base. Any tips?

Here's the thread you want. http://www.kayakforum.com/cgi-bin/Building/KBbbsArchive.cgi?read=31503

I tried to go to the "Kayak Builders of So California" link and the page didn't come up so this might not be much help. Perhaps another poster on this site knows how to get you the pictures you need.

Whatever you do, don't drill holes in the kayak, we'll get you the info you need to do it right.
