The Taylor Made Hull-Saver is a flat roll up fender in white, sized 15" by 7'-4". It is built around a high-density closed cell polyethylene foam core. The covering is a UV resistant, tear proof vinyl/polyester tri-laminate, and corrosion-proof grommets handle attachment. The maker says it suits rafting and tie ups and stows easily.

Our take

At 15" by 7'-4", this roll up fender is one long cushion in place of a row of round ones, and the maker says it attaches easier than 6 single fenders. The foam is closed cell polyethylene under a UV resistant vinyl covering.

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.
