The fenders are not a big thing, but her at Baltic sea mooring is
usually stern to buoy and bow to dock, thats the problem. I have told my
wife not to walk to lw bows. We can put the fender on with a long shaft
hook.

> The problem of attaching fenders near the ends of long slim hulls is
shared by some trimarans, for example the Farrier tris. My solution was
to have a line rigged permanently and pull the fender to its position by
this line. Once docked a more secure fender can be attached if required.

(and take off) the protective buoys at both ends of the hull by
horseback sliding to the furthest cleats. Without boarding steps access
to the boat is by arse swivel over the back of the hull where the akas
are attached. It is the sport version, though ;-)
