New Fenders

[tinkicker0]

Needed some larger fenders for mooring up against some steel pilings and looked at all the websites.

Saw some polyform round bouy types and proceeded to envisage the diameter required with the aid of a ruler on my desk, decided on A3 size and ordered them.

They just arrived and I finished inflating them...........well I am now confident in the fact that my boat will never sink, they were a bit bigger than imagined :ambivalence:

The question is will I need to remove them to enter my berth, not a lot of room. I suppose the bio digester look will eventually grow on me, but if anyone dares ask if I am running her on methane.....:nonchalance:

And nobody, but nobody better call her the bullfrog.

Or ask if i am a pilates instructor.

I did exactly the same recently.

Thankfully I did not inflate them so returned for a smaller size!

They worked a treat during a trial mooring up, but unfortunately all the best / reasonably secure from bankside hooliganism places were occupied and I ended up returning to my berth rather than mooring away with a nice view.

Ah… nice pic… Now I see why you wanted some barrage balloons
