Bow fender making

Post by froya66 »

Hi all

When I asked about details of the very nice bow fender in DetroiTug’s thread, Gudmund sent me the following link where you can see “How to do”.

And so I did. My wife and I used all together about 10 hours making the fender on the photo.

Bending the fender sharply round the stern takes some heavy hauling.
