ABSTRACT:
A boat fender is particularly constructed to provide protection where needed on low freeboard boats with a minimum of rolling. The fender includes a substantially cylindrical body portion having first and second ends and an axis of elongation, and an ear portion integral with the body portion at its first end and making an angle of about 45.degree.-100.degree. (e.g. 90.degree.) with respect to the axis of elongation. Both the body portion and the ear portion are of resilient material, such as resilient plastic, and are typically hollow. An opening is provided in the ear portion large enough to receive a line therein for tying the fender to a cleat or support on a boat or dock. The contour between the ear portion and the body portion roughly conforms to the gunwale of a low freeboard boat. The fender may be attached to a boat, or it may be attached to a dock, so as to protect the boat from impacting the dock.
