While sailing with Tom a couple weeks ago we had a good time joking about the "landlubbers & greenhorns" who left their fenders out after leaving the docks. Until we forgot ours once. Larry On Mon, 8 Sep 2003 08:45:18 -0700 "Smith, Tom" <Tom.Smith@itron.com> writes:

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.

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

all day. Any ideas?

Thank you,
