[Rhodes22-list] fender adjustment?

[Graham Stewart]

I have found the rolling hitch to be the fastest and most secure way to tie
fenders. With a bit of practice you can tie it in an instance. If you are
not familiar with the knot see a demonstration here:

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] fender adjustment?

When putting fenders over the side, around a dock, etc...any suggestions on
not just how best to keep them where you want them, but being able to adjust
them up or down as needed?  I know there are some products that attach to
the railings that claim to be adjustable...one I've seen is hard plastic and
mounts, I assume, similar to say a rod holder, and then there are the cloth
ones that strap around the railings.  This of course would be for the
traditional style fenders.  I know some people have used ones with the
curved top that curves slightly over the side of the boat, and thus
ostensibly keeps it in place. Of course it depends on how high or low the
pier is relative to your boat as to where a fender may be needed, but I
usually need it at the outermost portion of the boat/"rub rail" area.
