: There would be nothing wrong with making a flat spot, under the
: skin, to potentially mount a rudder on. If you're building an
: untested design, it certainly couldn't hurt. If you're building
: a Yost boat, it's unlikely to need one, at least with the ones
: I've built, and by all accounts.
: As for foot braces, I often use the frame by my feet for a foot
: brace - padding it with minicell foam first. I've also bolted on
: home made plywood footbraces on a few boats - they need not be
: complex if you don't mind not being able to adjust them. I
: attached them to the gunwales.
: Another consideration is that you might not need foot braces at
: all. If I'm whitewater playboating, that's a different story,
: but I hardly bother with them anymore, and no longer feel a need
: for them. And yes, I do plenty of rolling.
: A heel rest is a nice addition, to any Yost style SOF - I came up
: with this very simple one, and it is as comfy as a hammock - and
: it keeps my heels from contacting the skin (which, in cold
: water, can really chill your feet fast).
: Good luck!

Btw Dave, I really like your logo, looks like it's burnt in, how do you do that?
