Three sailors discuss fenders on deck with sea behind
Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο
Fender selection for sailboats covers sizing, inflation pressure, placement, shape, and accessories, with Maurizio hosting alongside Camilla Mosle of SVB and Lillo Bagnato of Spartivento.▶ 0:41 Fender length must match hull freeboard: the fender should sit roughly 25 cm above the waterline and stop 20–25 cm short of the water's surface, preventing it from being ejected when two hulls compress it or lifted by waves.▶ 4:31 Inflation pressure should not exceed 0.2 bar; over-inflation stiffens the fender, reduces shock absorption, and causes a banana-shaped deformation.▶ 6:01 Sizing follows the Poliform F-series (F2, F3, F4, etc.), but each manufacturer varies dimensions slightly, so checking actual measurements matters.▶ 3:55 Cylindrical fenders belong amidships at the widest beam; round ball fenders go at bow and stern appendages to distribute load evenly.▶ 8:27 Ball fenders work poorly on a transom because they deflect sideways or upward on contact; the flat rectangular "tablet" fender, tied top and bottom through its four attachment points, protects a transom reliably.▶ 11:43 For very low docks where a vertical fender would touch the water, rigging it horizontally is the only partial workaround.▶ 7:50 Lightweight inflatable fenders serve superyachts where a solid fender of equivalent size (70 cm–1 m diameter) would weigh tens of kilograms.▶ 9:31 Fender socks protect both the hull and the fender itself from UV-degraded PVC, which turns tacky and stains gelcoat.▶ 12:22 A Poliform F3 (76 cm) costs roughly €73; a Citec F6 (1 m) runs about €86; a 29 cm ball fender costs around €26.▶ 13:52
