Still, sorta' an intriguing invention. Given that lots of us are in tidal waters and in slips defined by pilings, and lots of us are transients, this sort of vertical fixed-location fender seems less than flexible enough for convenience.
Now, the person who invents an inflatable, horizontal fender that deploys all along the side of the vessel from within a built-in cover... Or airbags for bow and stern... No! Wait! I just invented 'em.
