Only need one each side at widest part of the boat. I have cleats right behind the port lights. See pic On July 13, 2022, at 9:49 PM, David Grah via montgomery_boats <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:
I wonder if the group has any suggestions on this topic I always seem to struggle with. We don't spend much time at docks but, when we have to tie up to one, I am never really satisfied with how I attach at least one of the fenders I use between the boat and the dock. I typically feel like I should use two fenders. The front one I tie to the shroud. The aft one usually seems to want to be located just back of the front of the cockpit but I don't have anything good at that location to secure the fender to. I see in Daniel Rich's how-to-rig-a-Montgomery-15 video he only uses one fender tied to the handrail just back of the shroud and that seems to work okay. What works for you Montgomery 15 sailors when using fenders at a dock? How many fenders? How do you secure them? David GrahMontgomery 15 - Sky
