How To Size A Boat Fender To Fit Your Sailboat
January 23, 2010 by Chris Wethered
Filed under Boat Engines And Sailboat Hardware, Sailboat Rigging And Marine Rope
Ensuring your boat is protected
at the dock is at the heart of this post. Our video from West Marine centers around the range of how to size your boat fender correctly. There are a few
basic rules that you should follow in order to maintain your boat correctly dockside. There is a range of boat bumpers covered in the video, naturally everyone needs a specific type of
fender to suit there boat. The design features of the different products are clearly demonstrated, so you can be sure to make the correct purchasing decision.
The number one rule that should be adhered to is:
One inch of fender diameter for every five feet of boat length
The second rule to follow is:
Two shock absorbers for every ten feet of boat length
So if you have a thirty feet boat you should have six fenders that are at least five inches in diameter, five fenders to be tied on to the rails and one to be used as roving whilst docking.
Here's Chuck to explain
Two names
that are at the heart of the market are Taylor and Hull Gard, you will see a lot of products made by these brands. Indeed Hull Gard is a Taylor brand.
The materials used in boat fenders are types of vinyl. In general soft vinyl is used to for the protective, cushioning parts and harder vinyl is used for the eyelets. Of course you can match the color of your fenders to suit your hull color and accessorize them with covers if you wish.
Most designs have an inflation valve which allows you to moderate the amount of air inside the chambers. You need the cushioning to be firm to the touch, so that a buffer zone is established.
In the larger designs, the valve has been adapted to fit a Philips bit, which means you can use an air compressor to speed up the filling.
Taylor boat fenders come in many shapes and sizes. West Marine have some innovative docking solutions too!
Features include:
- An eyelet at either end, meaning you can hang the buffer either vertically or horizontally
- Valves to offering adjustable inflation pressures from the boat bumpers
- Ribbing, which provides added protection
- Inflatable fenders, inflatable vinyl for stowage are also available if you need
- Modular foam filled fenders mean you can construct unique fending solutions, for your particular needs
Time to get your docking and tendering solutions!

How To Winterize Your Boat, Step Four: Preventing Mould And Cabin Damp
December 26, 2009 by Chris Wethered
Filed under How To Winterize Your Boat
The topic of the fourth video in this series concerns preventing mold and damp
from taking over your cabin over the winter months. If you would like to view the other videos in the series, then you can find links at the bottom of this post. They cover all aspects of how to winterize your boat. If you have already covered those steps then it’s time to get to grips with the next short movie from West Marine.
In order to defend against damp and mold
taking hold you should follow the steps in the video which are summarized for you here:
- Remove all cushions, foodstuffs and perishable items
- Take your electronics off the boat as well. This stops damp getting in and deters thieves
- Leave open all draws, lockers and cabinets to maximize circulating air
- Set up dehumidifiers as recommended by West Marine, use Starbrite Crystals or an a/c dehumidifier as determined by your local winter temperatures.
- Fully charge your batteries before taking them home for winter storage. Keep them topped off using a winter battery maintenance charger, you can buy one on this post below. Storing your batteries on wood is the best method to preserve condition.
