    Fenders
    Having trawled the internet I could only find suitable fenders for the bow. So I had to think about making the fenders for the
    paddle sponsons
    . Research found some ideas by knitting triangles and rolling them up to form a fender. However I remembered as a kid knitting using a wooden cotton reel with four nails to knit a tube. I eventual found out its called French knitting. A visit to a craft shop I found a fancy French knitter. After a bit of experimentation I added nails to make it eight pins. Using elastic thread was able to knit a reasonable fender. Filling the inside with a bit of foam cut to a tube shape and sowing the ends. I think it worked ok.
