We have a wherry and it definately needs foot braces for fixed seat rowing. I built it for my wife, 5'1", and it was comical to watch her try to row without footbraces. I'm 5'10" and, while I believe I'm more graceful, it isn't easy for me, either. We now use the boat with a row wing but I'll be installing some sort of adjustable foot brace, to accomodate both of us, for occasional fixed seat use.
