Hi Randy, Well it's about time you quit dragging those fenders around the lake! ;-) Sounds like what you really need is some version of a tiller tamer system so you can let go of the tiller to take care of things like that when you need to. There should be lots of ways to do that listed in the archives. Larry On Sun, 7 Sep 2003 08:02:16 -0700 "Randy Graves" <RandyG@cite.nic.edu> writes:

Friends,

Does anyone have any good ideas of how to handle the fenders when single-handed sailing? For ease and convenience I have been leaving them attached while under sail. I would like to come up with a handy way to deploy and retrieve without letting the boat get away from me in the process, or having them roll around in the cockpit all day. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Randy Graves
