Wave-deflecting fender positioned across the point of submergence of chines and strakes of a vessel in order to reduce the entrapment of air pockets against said chines and strakes and associated gurgling sounds caused in the entrapment and subsequent escape of said air pockets. The wave-deflecting fender is comprised of an elongated pad (1) made of 1 or more layers of closed-cell foam, and a bridle assembly to affix the position of said pad (1) against a vessel. Said bridle assembly consists of a line aft (2) and an elastic shock chord forward (3) to affix the longitudinal position of the fender, and a lateral shock chord forward (4) and a lateral shock chord aft (5) to affix the transverse position of the fender. An attachment line (6) running the length of said pad adds structural strength to said pad (1) as well as provides loops for attaching said pad (1) with line (2) and shock chords (3), (4), and (5).
