Useful information

Use

Fenders are designed to protect your boat from damage when moored. They are a cushioning device which should be placed between your boat and a pontoon or between both boats if rafting.

They should be attached to something solid on your boat. Attaching a fender to the lowest point on you boat, such as a cleat or the base of a stanchion will reduce the amount it swings.

Inflation

Fenders should be inflated to the correct pressure to be effective. At 20°C/68°F pressure should be 0.15bar/2psi. Pressure should be reduced by 0.05bar in hot weather.

These are only a guide. When selecting and attaching a fender you need to take account of the mooring conditions and have an understanding of your boat. There are many variables beyond our control and you must accept final responsibility.

Measuring a Superyacht fender for fender covers

We need 3 measurements and a photo of existing fenders would help. Overall length, length of side seam, diameter.

  1. Fully inflate the fender
  2. Lay the fender down between 2 straight edges (cardboard boxes will do)
  3. Measure the gap between the boxes to give overall length
  4. Measure the side seam of the fender
  5. Place boxes either side of fender and measure gap to give diameter
