fenders

[jambaman]

can anyone suggest a brand of fender that can be inflated with either a foot or hand pump, and can be deflated on board when not required?

I thought all inflatable fenders could be inflated and deflated with a pump and needle adaptor? You can often buy them in a deflated state anyway, although I'm not convinced the effort is worth it for the space you'd save on board. You could always try those flat fenders that can double as cockpit seats when under way.
