Sizing details
The ideal size depends on your boat’s length, weight, and style.
As a general rule, classic wooden boats benefit from slightly larger, well-proportioned fenders.
If you’re unsure, just send a photo or your boat length – I’m happy to recommend a setup.
Care instructions
Fendermaker fenders are made from natural rope and are designed to age beautifully with proper care.
Always allow the fenders to dry completely after exposure to water
Keep them hanging above the waterline when not in use
Rinse occasionally with fresh water to remove salt and dirt
Ensure good airflow – avoid storing them in damp, enclosed spaces
Natural rope should not remain wet for extended periods, as this may lead to premature wear.
Optional:
A light application of natural oil can help maintain flexibility over time, but is not required.
With proper care, manila and hemp fenders will develop a rich patina and long-lasting durability, becoming more beautiful with age.
Can I reuse photos or share my boat?
Absolutely – and I truly appreciate it. If you’re happy with your fenders, I’d love to feature your boat (with credit).
