High Five's owner has offered me a bunch of fives if I bump into him again

One lady I know said she wondered if she had too many fenders when she realised that having numbered them all so they went in the right place she got past 35A.

I'd surmise that High Five is a single hander.

The finger pontoon next to the MOBO also appears to be covered in those bolt on dock fenders so i think the boats skipper is a double belt and braces type

My SIL had a similar problem with his neighbour berthed next to him, soon solved it by using a fence gravel plank I provided, as a fender board on the side nearest to the offender. No further evidence of dings.

If I may relate a pertinent personal anecdote –

I was in the marina in Stralsund earlier this year. I prefer to berth stern to, and I was grateful that I had done so. A charter boat left from a berth opposite, with a strong breeze behind me. He got it wrong. He crunched up against a rather large steel bow roller on the front of my boat, and did it with quite some damage. On the other hand, it probably did much more damage to him than to me. If I had moored bows in, he would have thumped my stern with, probably, a great deal of structural damage.

I felt slightly smug at the idea that he had almost impaled himself on my bow roller. Better that, than crunching my boat almost beyond repair.
