Unbelievable. That statement all by itself speaks volumes about
his lack of sailing experience.

I like this response:

"Of course they do. The aluminum rails catch fenders, dropped tools and even
my
cell phone! Heel really far and a fender could roll off, but then you can
just
put it front of a stanchion. Anything so long as I don't have to stow them!"

A typical toe-rail is maybe an inch high? I can see how a 5 inch diameter,
bouncy fender would really be stopped by this height. The horror... what if
the rails aren't aluminum??

Put it in front of a stanchion? So to make it even more difficult to move
around
the boat, which is "heel(ing) really far." Dropped tools? Like when you're
doing
what on a moving boat?

Oh I know.. tripping over the fenders on the way to the chrome anchor.

That's some heel!

Enough for the deck-top fenders to roll overboard...

Real boats have toe-rails, wally! Tends to keep stuff on deck.

Cripes! Bob thinks that a toe-rail would stop a fender rolling overboard.
