[Charles & Pat Culotta]

Here is the ans to a query about the construction of my fender boards.

Randy,

I thought that I had a pic of the brds on the web site. I will look thru my
album for a pic.

Will send to you and post.

Picture this __l__________l___

 

That is what they look like , made of 2x6 brds. The top ends  of the
vertical stand offs  are padded as this is all that touches your boat.

The flat side, the bottom as you look at the graphic above is what rides on
the lock wall or piling or whatever you are tied to.

 

One end has two ropes  so that it can be hung horizontally or vertically.
The other end has one rope.

 

Hope this helps.

 

I do note that with the correct number and size  of fenders and type that I
have found in 34 yrs with this boat that boards are not needed in locks.

We live where we must transit at least one lock EVERY TIME we leave the
dock.

 I am not fearful of my fenders getting scratched. If my fenders are
pristine---I have not been cruising enough. Kind of like the artificial
trolling bait that is all chewed up. That is the good one.
