I'm looking for recommendations for fender brackets 0- the metal thingys you store your fenders in when sailing. I really don't have a good way of doing it right now. Thinking something that attaches to the SS poles that support the line wire lines on both sides of our boats
26X fender bracket recommendations?

I leave the fenders attached to the dock. I like the above photo.

When I had my
, I had long debated investing in topside fender cages but ultimately decided against it as I could always imagine them being in the way or getting damaged. My practice was to store the fenders at-the-ready in the head, and in the basement when at anchor.

We leave the fenders tied, then flip them over the rails where they hang out of the way. The lower rail is at regular life line height.
