Do you want to rethink that answer.....

Talk about dangerous and stupid.... but certainly not lazy!

Nope, virtually everyone here has experienced injuries. I haven't and we have a
lot of people out sailing every year. This summer we had more than 70 people
out sailing.
Think I'll stick to what works, not someone's rule that makes no apparent
difference.

I thought you said you got a hernia from lifting a bicycle?

FYI, it's not a rule. It's a good suggestion.

Your opinion, which has been noted.

It's a good suggestion from far better sailors than I. I try
to learn from the advise of others. My suggestion is you
give that a try.

When other sailors sustain injuries and other problems, and my boat doesn't
while sailing more often and with more guests I have to realize that it's my
advice they require.
For short sails in fair weather fenders on deck effect nothing. No one can
prove otherwise.

The past cannot predict the future. You're a loser if you don't
think common safety is important.

Removing fenders for a two hour fair weather sail is "tidy" but has zero effect
on safety.

He was a loser before, is one now, and always will be.
