Skin-on-Frame: Morris footrest position
By:Gaidheal
Date: 9/12/2013, 4:02 pm

Marking out my scarfed-up gunwales. Morris' book puts the footrest markings at the described measurement PLUS 4"

I can only assume this assumes you're adding the 4" for a seat or back padding allowance.

I am not adding extra space: I have measured the distance of my foot behind the CL for the backrest mark. I am expecting that the footrest will be (in my stumpy-legged case) 43" ahead of the backrest mark?

Thanks

Jamie
