Coloured fenders

[DAKA]

I saw this over the weekend and I thought it a great idea.
I assume he has this colour system to help his wife get the right ones on the right side brilliant , must save loads of time trying to work out which one goes where

white fenders on the right side

Blue fenders on the left

I think he needs a couple more on each side

I didbn't know fenders had a right side and wrong side - what's the difference between a port side fender and a startboard side fender?

When mooring starboard side to, you put bigger fenders on the port side to fend the yotties off

Nothing to do with port and starboard, as Paul says, it depends which side you tie up, more about the right side and the other side.

If half the blue ones had black ropes and half shorter white it would be even better , black to the front (higher freeboard) and white rope blue to the back

There's a lot more to stinkers than keeping to the right and giving in to raggies

No there's not. I've had it on good authority from some stinkers that it's just like driving a car...

if they did them in red and green it could be usefull.

Once turned up to teach a guy on his boat and he had fenders every 2 feet around the boat.
