on SCRED i place fenders in two locations - * tied to the cabin-top grab rail * tied to the rear cleat in general i find the only one really necessary is the one hung from the cabin-top grabrail. the stern fender is 'just in case' when docking. dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred --- On Wed, 7/16/08, Bill "C" Day <bill@gotrain.org> wrote: From: Bill "C" Day <bill@gotrain.org> Subject: M_Boats: Southern California sailing To: "For and about Montgomery Sailboats" <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Wednesday, July 16, 2008, 5:19 PM While I have everyone's rapt attention, I have another question. I'm constantly trying different ways of hanging fenders on my 15. Some work better than others, but I still haven't found the perfect solution in 22 years. I'd like to hear what other skippers have come up with for attaching fenders in the right locations for good boat protection. So, tell me, how do you tie one on (fender, that is)?
