Step 2Making the core
The core of the fender is an important part. Some fender designs get pretty complex here, but as this fender is for smaller boats, the core need not be too elaborate.
1. Start by taking 15 feet of rope and folding it in half.
2. 3-4 inches below the bight (loop) that is formed, tightly and securely bind the rope together using the twine. There are several methods of doing this. The method I used is a standard seizing. Again, as long as it is secure and very tight, you should be fine.
3. Approximately 12-14 inches below the first seizing, apply another one in exactly the same manner.
You have now formed the core of the fender.
