I grew up in a hard school. Fenders couldn't be deployed until the last minute and had to be off the topsides as soon as the dock was cleared.
In the Orwell is seems to be quite the done thing to have a fender or three dangling at all times. Is having a full set over the side a form of snobbery? "I can afford a marina berth, and don't fall in the mud, like you plebs on moorings". Is this a strange East Coast mark of recognition, like the funny handshake mob?
