FENDABOARD
from €2,894.06
A lightweight, foldable alternative to traditional wooden fender boards, the DEFENDA inflatable FENDABOARD is designed to sit outside of normal fenders in harsh berthing situations. The body of the fender is made from drop-stitch fabric, creating a firm and stable platform base for the fender. Multiple solid PVC studs on the front face resist extreme abrasion while, behind the studs, a layer of stab-proof Cut-Tex PRO fabric provides additional protection from sharp objects.
Available in a range of standard sizes, FENDABOARD can also be made to custom requirements. As with all DEFENDA products, the FENDABOARD has been extensively tested by an independent laboratory and we have complete confidence in it’s ability to perform in the harshest environments.
What is a Fendaboard?
A Fendaboard is our premium, custom-engineered fender board designed to provide maximum protection for your vessel’s hull. A fender board works by bridging the gap between two or more of your standard fenders, distributing pressure evenly across a wider surface area. This prevents individual fenders from slipping or getting caught on pilings, posts, or rough dock surfaces, ensuring consistent and reliable protection when mooring.
Why do I need a fender board like the Fendaboard?
Standard cylindrical or round fenders can sometimes be ineffective, especially when mooring against irregular surfaces like pilings or wide-planked docks. A high-quality boat fender board is essential in these situations:
Rough Quays: It shields your hull from abrasive concrete or wooden quay walls.
Protection from Pilings: It prevents fenders from getting jammed behind a piling, which would leave your hull exposed to damage.
Even Pressure Distribution: It spreads the load from the dock across multiple fenders, reducing high-pressure points on your hull.
Rafting Up: It provides a smooth, flat surface when mooring alongside another vessel, protecting both boats.
