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.

Absolutely wrong. It doesn't take 2 hours to create a hazard. It only
takes a careless, lazy act (or lack thereof), and a moment's inattention.

Doen't apply to me, I'm afraid. No danger in a fender on deck in conditions
described. You can create you're own rules, but please stay out of mine.

Not to mention it only looks slightly less lubberly than leaving them
hanging off the lifelines. Funny, doesn't want to look lubberly, but is too
lazy to stow the fenders. Maybe he has a problem tying knots.

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