Hey I worked on a Oldschool sailship a few years back where i learned
to make fenders. Non like the ones on the bottom links but smaller
ones for the railing of boats. If you are interested in seeing some
picutres of some i can mail you that.

Hello Markus:
Yes, I would be very grate full for a pic or two. The example posted
here were way to detailed for 2 1/2 line. I ended up simpy:
taking a 12' piece of 2.5 " line
putting the two bitter end together
whipping one bitter end
make an eye splice with an eye about 9 inches opening with 11' tail
for spliceing back.

Then when I got to the whipped end of line I just stoped back
splicing.

I tied some 1/2 inch poly to the eye and tossed it over the side using
the poly to adjust the bumbers position on the side of the boat. Works
great, look good, simple to make with big three strand.
