You're right Peter... I was mislead by the word "sailboat."

Perfectly safe for Bob. No need to go forward when you're motoring and
have someone else to handle lines for you. He never leaves the safety
of the cockpit and his camera.

Bob, if you are stupid enough to believe that fenders on deck are
safe,
then you are an idiot.

Prove to me that fenders on deck are dangerous during a two hour
afternoon
sail
during calm weather and near shore.
Go ahead! I'm waiting!

Bwahahahaha! What a coward!

I don't need to prove that fenders are dangerous.

It is self evident that the fenders would be an obstruction if anybody
needed to go forward.

Your arguement seems to be based on the fact that it would be unlikely
that
anyone would need to go forward during a two hour sail. That is blatent
rubbish. You know it, as well as I know it. I'm fairly sure that even
if
you only sail within a 1/2 mile of the marina, that you still encounter
the
unexpected sometimes. You left the fenders on deck because you are
lazy,
and not because you are stupid!
