Fed up with stowing fenders away in lockers for a shortish trip ?? Tie a few inches of light line complete with stainless steel clip to the top and bottom eye of the fender and clip them horizontailly to the guardrail wire. :salut:

What is your quick and easy tip ??

Here is another tip........ Finding it difficult to keep the dinghy tight along side when cleaning the waterline or loading /unloading due to lack of decent handholds ? Buy a cheap "dent puller" from the local Tat shop . Mine cost £2-99.
it even advertises that it can be used for holding glass !! Anyway it sticks like the proverbial to the hull and really gives a decent mobile hand hold which you can really swing on .

Another great tip brought to you by a bored liveaboard waiting for some decent weather! :lol:
