555 yup do listen to "MM" MID..god forbid that anyone should be so slack as to deploy fenders or leave them down approaching or leaving a dock! GEESH!
Personally I think on a boat that's loaded and limited quarters best to leave them overboard rather then have them cluttering the deck as a trip hazard, even secured to the railing on board can be an obstacle.
agree mate..my
brick shit house of a 42' had so much storage I lost stuff but usually stored fenders clove-hitched to mast granny rails. If I had a smaller vessel would definitely consider the overpriced oblong flatish sealed cell foam fenders which can double as seats and pillows etc.
one thing I could/would recommend/condone on deck is 6+ 20l+ containers for diesel and water..securely lashed to lifelines/stanchions of course...or?
