- Size guide
Do not underrate the size of your fenders, just because they are bulky on the deck when you actually sail: if space is really an issue, you’d better have one fenderless, while keeping a generous diameter. Do not compromise for the sake of space on board: opt for the next size up.
We recommend you place one fender every 2.5 m, and a minimum of 6 fenders. An extra fender with a larger size will be most useful when rafted to another boat with a higher freeboard. For optimum efficiency, choose a fender whose length is equivalent to the 2/3rd of your boat’s free-board.
- Pressure
We advise you to check the pressure of your fender or Bumper once or twice a year. The right pressure is obtained by using a pressure gauge or by measuring the circumference of your Performance fender. To be really efficient a fender or Bumper must be neither under nor over-inflated.
Recommended pressure
| Standard fender | 0.15 to 0.20 bar |
| Spherical fender | 0.15 to 0.20 bar |
| Bumper | 0.07 to 0.10 bar |
