Boats are evolving, and the equipment we use to protect them must evolve along with them.
Tenders are getting longer and wider. With larger tenders comes the need for added protection for your yacht. To protect your vessel from an increasingly difficult and costly problem, Shipyard Supply USA manufactures pillar fenders, also known as vertical fenders.
The Problem
Swim platforms are near the water line. This is great for transferring gasoline. However, when you bring a bigger boat to the swim platform, rubbing and bumping can cause severe damage. Traditional swim platform fenders may not be enough to protect both boats from damage during this type of contact.
The Solution
Shipyard Supply USA has created a vertical fender system. The system, which is designed to keep the bow of the tender off your yacht, includes a special configuration of vertical fenders, which we manufacture, and swim platform tenders. The configuration includes two vertical fenders with a swim platform fender between them to offer additional protection.
