Have you seen this link? http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=1135.0 Go to the link on the first post. It is a step by step album of the making of it. Hope it helps (looks like a neat project but WAY to involved for me). |

Thats looks like a hell of a project....and to me....not really the best protection. A traditional fender is soft and full of air. This means its like rubbermiad....it bounces back and provides some cushion. It seems like a rope fender would be solid as a rock, and also very heavy. In addition, it also seems like a rope fender would be more abrasive to your boat that a rubber type would be. |

The key word is "Traditional". |

I suggested this as a winter project for a buddy of mine who has a 36' wood-hulled Grand Banks as I thought it would compliment the character of the boat. He wasn't enthusiastic..... |
