Anybody using these?
Anybody care to laugh at the very idea of them?

It's so funny watching people try to use these things.

I can pull out and place a half-dozen fenders before they get the first
one sorted out.

Why do you need a half dozen fenders on a 28 foot boat? I think we can all have
a good laugh about that, Jere. :')

Ahhh, you caught that ;-)

Often, we're in the middle of a raft-up. We carry 10, just in case, as
our raft-mates can be 15-55', power or sail, with varying skill-levels.
When in doubt, I carpet the side of the boat. I also tend to be the one
throwing the lines and warping them in, as few have 60' "dock lines"
(old sheets), nor can they toss what they have more than about 10'.
