: In realizing the "anklebone is connected to the legbone........."
: it is time to think footbraces. I am looking for a recommendation for the
: adjustable kind which I can mount w/o drilling through the hull.

: I also have another question: When it comes to artistic stripping on the
: deck, is it not feasible/appropriate to take thin strips and snake them
: across the deck, crossing the center, if the deck shape crests or v's at
: the center, like the Great Auk.

As far as stripping, most anything you can imagine can be done, the limit is only on the time and the skills required to do it.
