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.

Again thanks,
Alan
