ABSTRACT:
A vertically elongated resilient fender for deployment between a floating vessel and a dock or an adjacent floating vessel, defined by a flat rear wall and a convexly arched front wall integrally joined along their peripheral edges, together enclosing a hollow interior chamber, and having lateral wing flanges extending sidewise from the upper side edges of the rear base panel with securing eyes formed therein to receive a securing line employed to anchor the fender with its wing flanges flexibly bent backward behind the rear base panel. When this fender is cleated near the edge of a boat deck, its backwardly bent wing flanges rest on the deck, suspending the fender directly in front of the sheer line deck edge, firmly retaining the fender against dislodgement.
