Rope fendering.

I need some 3" diameter rope, multiplait or three strand, white, to go round my clinker tender as fendering, anybody know where I can find it down here in Barcelona? Or get it sent to me? Please.

Re: Rope fendering in barcelona.

there are some quite massive and very serious chandlers near you in the streets leading down to the sea in between Port Vell and Port Olimpico, on the seaward side of that dual carraigeway between the two ports. In fact, if you are coming up the coast, i wd say that's the best place for chandlery all the way until um well at least Italy. The area used to all seafaring, rather than full of poncy winebars. Get the motorbike out and have a look round. If they don't havbe it they can definitely sort it soonish, and feel quite trade-like so not utter ripoff.

Thanks, Matt, I've found some, in that very area! Barceloneta is the name of the area, as a matter of interest. I've also found some very cheap antifouling!
