In Response To: Puts my hull interior to shame. (Robert N Pruden)

We had some testing to find out where the pivot point of the feets. The lower horisontal bar was located to that point. When you sit in the kayak, have released the strap and adjusted the slider to a comfortable position you will have balance and support to both feets. The pedals is manouvered with the toes. You can have full support to both feets even with full rudder. The slider takes support from about 20 cm in the tight rail so you can put a real heavy load on the bar. The rail goes from 5cm inside coaming to the bulkhead.

: Very nice foot controls. They look tight. I'm wondering how easy it is to
: find the neutral position while paddling.
