Oh no I didn't.  I think if you look more closely you will see that I did quote the section in full, and didn't miss anything off.  If you want to make the rule say what you want it to say then please go ahead, it's your prerogative,  but don't try to split hairs, by misrepresenting what I said.

I was referring to your part in bold and the comment you typed which was “Shall use, not just deploy. (mbold)

Yes, whatever. It's  not worth arguing.

All this etiquette about lifting fenders whilst under way and we leave the one fender in place that could actually sink the boat. 

I made my front fender safe by never having one attached to the boat at all... 

Stow it on the front deck "ready to be deployed" if you have to but in 35 years of boating I have never had one, relying on the big fat stem iron to act as a fender.

Another point is when one breaks a weak link, there is an obvious and immediate need to re-make the link in order to continue with one's journey. This means one needs to carry some sort of repair kit too. This need doesn't become obvious until one actually breaks the link and the bow fender hangs down off to one side. You can guess what makes me say this...

I have a ball of string
