Abstract

See full text

A boat fender, or cushion, of flexible plastic (e.g. PVC) is particularly designed to fit on a boat gunwale to allow boats to be safely connected together for 'rafting'. An elongated integral hollow body of flexible plastic comprises a pair of generally cylindrical portions and a central portion connecting the cylindrical portions. Through-extending closed periphery open end openings pass concentrically through the cylindrical portions, and other sets of openings pass through the central portion perpendicular to the cylindrical portions. Lines (ropes) may be passed through the openings to lash the cushion to a boat (e.g. at a boat gunwale), dock, piling, pier, or the like. Reinforcing tubes extend in the hollow interior of the body at the openings, and the body may be inflatable. The device also may be used as a seat cushion.
