Use fender covers
Consider using fender covers or socks made from soft and non-abrasive materials. These covers provide an additional layer of protection between the fender and the yacht’s gelcoat. We do produce covers specifically designed for your fender size and shape, ensuring a snug fit.
As additional point we can customize with your logo, name or design of your yacht
Regularly inspect the fenders
Inspect your fenders regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or embedded dirt or debris. Clean the fenders using mild soap and water to remove any contaminants that could potentially scratch the gelcoat.
Adjust mooring lines
Make sure your mooring lines are properly adjusted to minimize the risk of your yacht coming into contact with the dock or other vessels. Keep the lines taut but not overly tight, allowing enough room for natural movement without excessive rubbing.
Slow down and maneuver carefully
When approaching docks or other vessels, reduce your speed and maneuver carefully to minimize the chances of fender friction. Smooth and controlled movements can help prevent accidental collisions and excessive rubbing.
Prevention is key when it comes to protecting your yacht.
By following these steps and maintaining regular inspections and cleaning routines, you can help preserve the appearance and condition of your yacht’s gelcoat.
