Many thanks to: Alex Ferguson Michael Daly John Fereira Mary Z and Kirby Stevens I have the Keepers brand. Seems that the summer time temperatures here in North Carolina - USA, causes the polymer rails to distort and the braces often pop free and come to rest out of reach near the forward bulkhead as I am entering the boat and ^Ósettling in^Ô, argh! As far as rolling, it^Òs only a dream at present. I can^Òt even count on these things for edging. The Yakima brand looks good as it^Òs of metal construction, in my price range and please correct me if I^Òm wrong here, looks as if they will work with a rudder. I don't have a rudder installed but like the option of being able to add one. As far as building my own foot braces, this boat is poly and I currently live in a tent so that's out for now. Perhaps if I ever build a wooden boat I will get into that task.
