Abstract (en)

A technique for stabilising a boat (2) in open water against a stationary structure (4) is disclosed. The boat (2) has a fender (8) at one end comprising a resilient material (10), and the boat (2) is urged against the structure (4) to engage the resilient material (10) with the structure (4). The frictional engagement in combination with the urging force is sufficient to prevent the engaged fender (8) from slipping down the structure (4). In this way so long as the engagement is sustained, the boat (2) is stabilised against the structure (4).
