  • Easy to handle and practical
  • Ultralightweight
  • Easily storable
  • Quickly inflatable and deflatable

The tandem fender is designed for sailboats, both monohulls and catamarans. It’s dual tube design prevents it from rolling on itself and protects a larger area than other shaped fenders. The Fendertex® tandem textile fender offers the highest performance protection. They are ultralightweight, easy to handle and can be deflated and folded to minimize storage space.

All Fendertex® textile fenders are dyed en masse and designed using a patented salt resistant material that leaves no trace or scratch on the hull.
