Fender as in a car fender. To fend off.

Sprit, Hi !
I foked out on a fancy rope fender for my narrowboat, on the back, to prevent bumps in locks, but have reverted to the truck tyre.
It does not look so pleasant, but works much more practically.
When a "tupperware" boat gets into a lock with me, it does not matter if they bump into the tyre.
Anyway, I have painted it to match the purple boat.
The tatty rope one was sold to pay for the paint.
OK, I see that yachty folks like their nicely coiled & shiny ropes, but I suppose that I am just a bit more practical.
Happy boating !
Bob.
