I recognise that. It's a Ferretti, innit. Which model and what's the wire that comes down from the flybridge (in your cockpit pic)?

I noted the VENTURA when in Stravanger only had 2 fenders and she is nearly 1000ft long.

Nothing more useless on a boat than a fender in the locker, when it's needed on the topsides.

Haven't you answered your own question, it's in case they fall off, or ride up on top of the pontoon. I suppose on a river or sheltered marina if you can guarantee no swell or wash then 2 is fine, but in harbours or less sheltered marinas, i'd want 4. Anyway, you need more for when you leave the boat, so if you have 'em on board you may as well use 'em, as it don't take long to put a couple of extra fenders out.

Now there's a man who loves his boat, if its about to crash he'll chuck his meat and two veg in the way rather than scratch the gel coat

Sorry but glad not to be Mrs Daka , don't mind front & back fenders, its the middle one that a right pain to tie on, can't hold on and tie a know unless its dead calm.
So once we have got off I tie the middle one on from the pontoon. Much easier.
Recent yottie rafted onto us cheekily swapped my slip knots for "pick knots!",
& a right pain they were to pick off ! Hell on your nails !
