ABSTRACT:
A return bent clip of substantially rigid but resilient material has a flat back with apertures and a projecting tongue for adjustably securing the suspension cord of a boat fender. The front and back portions of the clip define a first recess sized and shaped to grip rigid tubular railings of a wide range of diameters. The return bent portion of the clip joining the front and back portions forms a separate smaller recess flared in width toward the first recess. The smaller recess is sized to receive smaller diameter lifelines of the type commonly used on sailboats. The clip can be selectively fitted over a large diameter railing or a small diameter lifeline. The snug friction fit of the clip on the railing or lifeline deters longitudinal sliding movement of the clip along the railing or lifeline so that the fender suspended from the clip is reliably positioned.
