Steve S Posted March 13, 2014 Report Posted March 13, 2014 On my new mooring I'm up against a wave screen taking the form of wooden piles with wooden boards between them. Should be fun sorting out the mooring ropes to take account of the complete tidal range. To protect the boat I'm going to need at least 4 large round fenders of 20" or so minimum diameter, just checked out the new price if anyone could help with some old ones that would be great, I'm not expecting them for free of course. I need them before the 29th March so boat jumbles on or after that day won't help me unfortunately. Steve Quote

Steve S Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks, I didn't know about Mike Cornish Mike Cornish is coming up at £34 each for the 24" diameter ones (quoted as circumference 75"), if I don't get any offers on secondhand ones I'll go with them. Quote

Steve S Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Posted March 14, 2014 Mal sent me a photo of his 'big one' and although impressive it's not big enough for me, even if presented by Mal in a pink pinny . Many thanks for the offer Dave, I'll pass on your semi hard one, I don't want to risk a deflation in a storm. Jim, Kingfisher 126 and niggle 3 Quote

fisherman1055 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Posted March 14, 2014 Sounds like you need some support underwear Tony ! Jim That's why I use the tree!!!! Quote
Steve S Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Posted March 14, 2014 Thanks Tony, very patriotic, I think you can leave them hanging in the breeze. 20" diameter is the minimum due to the depth difference between the posts and the planking and to allow for some cushioning. The boats are moored on the 'wrong' side. Quote
