Graceful Fenderhook with optional embossing
 

The Graceful FenderHooks© were designed for the smaller vessel, generally under 40 feet.  They are proportionally smaller, using 2" stainless steel shank and are 3" in width.  They are about 6 or 7 inches long.
 

The hardware is drilled and tapped into the shank
 

Note the graceful curves in the design, from wrapping around the wood rail to the rounded end with a stainless steel grommet, hydraulically set at 3000 pounds
 

The Stainless Steel Schaefer Cam Cleat is smaller than normal 1/2" line is max. The Cam Cleat is affixed with a bolt that is threaded into the stainless steel shank
 

A fairlead is added to guide the fender line and prevent marking the leather
 
The fender line may either pass thru the Stainless Steel Grommet or by-pass it to allow for the placement of a fender board or extra fender as conditions dictate
 
The leather can be oiled to help waterproof the FenderHook©
 
As with all leather products, maintaining is necessary to preserve the "like new finish"
 
Depending on the local conditions, re-waterproofing or oiling with Neats' foot oil or bees wax every month or so is necessary
 
Tan leather gives a lustrous rich look especially with vessels with teak accents;  while black leather will be slightly less maintenance intensive, will complement a vessels contemporary appearance
