Re: Videos
Between 3.5 and 4 kts. I try to point as high into he wind as I can to make headway in the narrow canal. Most of my fenders are on fender locks and they are up. I've put them on deck before but they end up falling off. The others are cheap extra fenders to keep the tank that berths next to us from smashing us up. I usually tie them up. I think that one came undone and was too much hassle to tie it back up while heeled over. Or it's to judge my speed either way

Hey Rob! 
Two bungie cords (Velco straps will work too) and you can store your fenders under the captain's seat in an "M". The four fenders from Dowsar I got are sized specifically for that, two smaller and two mediums, and yours might be too? Dowsar sells this mod, if you're not inclined to make one yourself. The two cords run fore and aft and are about 12" apart, IIRC. It makes use of otherwise (mostly) wasted space. Must... keep... the... Admirals...happy!
Maybe wont' work with larger-cowled engines than the E-tecs, though.
Hey Bob!
Great video (#2). Thanks. It shows the effectiveness of the dodger at breaking the wind by the amount that the zippered hanging panel is not flapping. I have a criticism. Not enough camera time on the dog!
