Details
For many classic boats, rope fenders are more than protection.
They are part of the boat’s character.
These complete fender sets are handcrafted using traditional ropework techniques and premium hand-laid manila rope produced at a historic ropewalk in Sweden where rope is still made using methods preserved from the old days.
To create an especially soft and protective fender, the rope is opened and braided, allowing the fibres to form a thicker and more flexible construction that is gentle on varnished hulls.
The result is a traditional rope fender with a classic appearance and exceptional softness.

Care instructions
To maintain functionality, it should be allowed to dry thoroughly when getting wet. The most important thing is that the fenders hang above the water surface. This allows them to dry naturally. Proper care, including rinsing off salt and dirt with fresh water, letting the rope dry well, and optionally oiling it, reduces drying and rot—especially in manila. In this way, the fender’s natural beauty and durability are preserved.
