Yet another Volvo Ocean Race Team has selected Hauraki Fenders to keep their boat safe and sound while at the dock.  Scallywag have now joined the growing number of offshore race yachts using our fenders. We wish the team all the best for the remainder of the Volvo Ocean Race.

Just in time for summer, Hauraki Fenders has released its new medium sized inflatable boat fender - ideal for vessels 35-50ft. When inflated, the fenders measures 350mm x 1000mm and weigh 2.5kg, but when not in use, they deflate quickly for stowing in a locker.  No more unsightly fenders or fender cages on deck.  The inflatable Hauraki Fenders are made of heavy duty 1.2mm PVC with het welded seams and a D-ring at each end to suit either vertical or horizontal deployment.  All fenders are light grey, but can be accessorised with a UV-rated fabric cover that can also be embroided with your boats name.
