Hi All:
So we parted a 2 1/2 inch three strand nylon liine a few days. I wanted to splice one of those rope boat finders out of it. The boat is 900+ grt/200' so think large scale................. But nobody know how here. I Did an online search but got no where fast. Do any of you have a really good , how to tie a knot, website that includes a couple ways to build a fender? It would really make my day if yould post a link here. Thanks Bob PS I learned today that Baracuda dont like BBQ chicken............ Ill try potato salad 2maro |

Originally invented by the Yokohama Rubber Company, hence the name. These days many Yokos are made in China, not by YRC. Some do Yokos have a protective cage of tyres around them, but the fender proper is just a giant pneumatic fender with a pressure around 7 psi. You can see Yokos at most big ports for ship to dock fendering. Floating Yokos are also used for ship to ship fendering. Keith Loutit's 'Bathtub V' T http://vimeo.com/5137183 likely shows Yokos. Fun to watch anyway. |

What you want is illustrated in "Marlinspike Sailor", a probable 'out
of print' book highly illustrating how to do maritime 'fancy rope work'. Such rope fenders are essentially an 'expanded Stevedore Knot' tied over sufficient flattened coils (to 'bulk up' the ID of the knot) to get to the desired diameter of the fender. In the 'fender form' of the 'stevedore knot' the 'return line' goes down the 'center' of the knot instead of 'outside' Another way to describe the 'Stevedore' is simply a 'figure of eight' with 'MANY turns' around the 'outside'. You can also use a 'hangmans knot' ( but with the inside tail over the 'first' coil so that the tail end of the knot cant pass through the inside) ... using many 'loops' inside the 'outside coils' to get to the bulk/diameter you desire. :-) |
