Would you be studying the Thames boatman article in Wooden Boat?

I cobbed a temporary rig toghether to try it out. Its just a board with a couple of braces to go against the bulkhead.  I was thinking of maybe incorporating the cleats on plank 1 with perhaps something on plank 2 to hold a removable board.  He said you need to push with the balls of your feet.

check that article it was last issue I think  just got a new one yesterday.

   I designed and built custom floorboards that incorporated removable foot pegs.  I also made a third that I attached my fishingrod holder to.
