Details
A traditional bow fender designed to protect the stem of classic and wooden boats.
This bow fender is handcrafted using premium hand-laid manila rope produced at a historic ropewalk in Sweden, where rope is still made using traditional methods preserved from the old days.
To create a soft and protective construction, the rope is opened and braided, allowing the fibres to form a thicker and more flexible fender that gently protects varnished bows while maintaining a classic maritime appearance.
Manila rope has been used on boats for generations and develops a beautiful natural patina over time.

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.
