: Do you really want your feet and legs to be that vertical? I wear a size 10.5
: and my Guillemot footbraces seem perfectly placed approximately 1 inch
: below the shear line. You might consider sitting with your heals more
: towards the center, toes slanted outwards at approximately 45 degrees from
: vertical. I also never get numb legs in this position, presumably due to
: better thigh support with knees wider apart.

Any ideas for trial-runs with the rails tacked non-permanently to the hull ?
