In Response To: Foam vs Schade Foot Rest (grant)

: Ok, some people are down on the manufactured foot rests compared to foam.

: How would you compare the foam against the sliding rest in Nick's book?

Depends on whether you want absolute, total security or adjustability. It also depends on your craftsmanship and how durable you build the Schade-style rest.

For me, nothing beats a custom-placed bulkhead. I don't trade boats with people all that often.
