Wow, that is what I want for my current project.

: Saw your message on FB.

: Both the Wahoo FSK and Sea Racer projects this summer used the same
: Stellar footbrace system. The cord slides weaves through the
: tops of the footbrace. When you slide footbrace forward or back
: the angle of the top doesn't change and allows adjustment. So
: either would work.

: I basically did your first option and spliced the cord in the
: cockpit. For each side I ran a piece of Dyneema cord from the
: peddles to the cockpit (just behind the seat on the SR) and
: another from the rudder horn back to the cockpit. For the Wahoo
: I just used a couple of bowlines.

: Hope it answers your question.
