Fenders Are Meant to Be Squashed Chapter 6: The Art and Science of Docking Fenders in boats are not quite the same thing as fenders in cars. If your teenager squashes the fender of your BMW, you’ll be exceedingly unhappy. If he squashes the fenders of the boat, you’ll note that he’s learning to be a competent skipper. Boat fenders are meant to be squashed, squeezed, and crushed. They’re made of tough but pliable vinyl or other materials that absorb shock, and they’re designed to fit between a boat and a dock, pier, or other solid structure, or sometimes between two boats. 97 Heavy vinyl fenders inflated with air act as cushions or bumpers to keep the gunnels and sides of your boat from being damaged by docks and other boats. (Photo credit: Polyform Fenders) Fenders can be anything from a piece of Styrofoam to a boat cushion, but the best fenders are the commercial models, usually inflatable, and made of thick vinyl. Cylindrical fenders are most common, although spheres are also sometimes used. They range in size from a foot to three feet long, with diameters from six inches to a foot or more. The bigger your boat, the bigger the fenders you need, because a 20-ton yacht can generate enormous crushing force when rocked by a wave. And a boat docked in an open area subject to wave action will require bigger fenders than one docked in a well-protected harbor. The fenders have to be fitted to the boat, hung over the side where contact with the fixed object is most likely. This may not be where there’s a convenient cleat or rail stanchion— if not, run a stout line between two cleats and hang the fender from that. The usual arrangement is to put one fender in the center of the boat and one on each end, so that however the boat works back and forth on the dock lines, it will be protected.
98 Part 2: The Basics of Operation A dock board is sometimes hung on the docks outside of the fenders if the dock is particularly rough or covered with barnacles. This prevents the sharp edges from puncturing the fenders. The Least You Need to Know ◆ Always consider wind and current when leaving or approaching a dock. ◆ Inform your crew of your docking plan. ◆ When learning how to maneuver in and out of a slip, remember that practice makes perfect. ◆ Consider tides when tying up your boat for the night. ◆ Fenders are your boat’s best friend.
