Choosing the right fender is essential to ensure optimal hull protection. This guide helps you determine the appropriate shape and size for your boat.
The choice of your fender's size depends on your freeboard height. Your fender's height must cover at least 70% (2/3) of your boat's freeboard height. For example, if your freeboard is 1m, your fender should be at least 70cm.
