This is Polyform's F Series fender in white, 15 x 41 in, sized by the maker for boats 50 to 60 ft. It has twin eyes, so it can hang vertically or horizontally, and ribbed, reinforced ropeholds. The vinyl valve seals securely and the wall is an even thickness for strength and durability. Polyform designs it for use at pilings, locks, concrete walls and permanent moorings that are unprotected.

Our take

Twin eyes let this 15 x 41 in fender hang vertically or horizontally, so you can set it to suit a piling or a wall. Polyform sizes it for boats 50 to 60 ft and for locks, pilings and concrete walls.

From our buying guide

Polyform says to use at least three fenders when docking, and Taylor Made's rule of thumb is one for every 10 ft of waterline per side. Both makers hedge their size charts, so allow for your boat and where you moor.

Check before you buy:

  • The size is on that maker's own chart for your boat's length.
  • Your fender line suits the eye, since Polyform says too small a line can cut through a vinyl eye.
  • You'll inflate it to the maker's figure, since two makers say over-inflating voids the warranty.
