Block Patterned flexible RIB Fenders

[Hightower]

I saw these being used at the Powerboat and RIB show in Portsmouth a month ago. They were white and made from the same sort of material that normal fenders are made and inflatable. They are rectangular and measured about 12" width and 30" long by memory with quite a large block pattern.

Who's selling these? They looked ideal for a RIB and so much better than those 1/2" thick polyprop ones.

Can't find a photo as I can't find them for sale. I'LL sharpen my pencil later and draw one.

The flat fenders towards the bottom of this page: Inflatable Yacht and Boat Fenders - Henshaw Inflatables Ltd ?

If it's the one I saw it's flexible and consists of small blocks. Something along the lines of the crap drawing I've attached. I've also tried to find it again but had no joy.

For what it's worth I know the ones you mean, have seen them occasionally. If I find something I'll link it!

That's fantastic! Thanks for posting that, you've saved my drawing skills being ridiculed from all of RIBnet!

They're the ones!

Where to get them from?

Errr no! That's a ladder! I'm not after a ladder

I'm after a large "chocolate bar" shaped fender.

In actual fact, I did a search for "chocolate bar fenders" and found exactly what I wanted

It's called a Multi Fender

Majoni MULTI FENDER - Only £21.99 - Piplers of Poole

So thanks for getting the grey matter working.

I've just called them as I fancy the grey ones. Apparently it only takes a week from them ordering to them getting them. I think i'll be ordering a couple of grey ones tonight.
