: Hi Lennie, Carol's boat looks great! Just one little thing, the knee hooks
: seem quite far forward. Did you figure out their location using Carol's
: measurements? NOTE: I have never installed knee hooks but plan on it for
: my next 'yak and I am attempting to gather info on the ideal size and
: location.

: Glen in Baie-St-Paul.

After reading your post I ran out and sat in it for the first time. And knee/thigh braces seem to be good. I’ll know for sure one I get it I the water. On my Guillemot my knees hit the recess. The additional bracing on Carol’s boat should work for her. Let’s hope so anyway.

Thanks,

Lennie
