ABSTRACT:
An improved fender maintains separation between a vessel, such as a pleasure boat, and a wharf to which the vessel is moored. The fender utilizes an elastic shock absorber element and a thrust rod that is connected at one end to the vessel and at the other end to the elastic shock absorber element. The elastic shock absorber element is held by a two-armed support structure at some distance away from the top of the wharf. The support structure prevents the thrust rod from receiving forces from sources other than the vessel and the elastic shock absorber element.
