Manufactured from a high-tensile Polyester laminate, DEFENDA™ inflatable superyacht fenders are lighter and stronger than comparable inflatable fenders and are backed by a 10-year, no-quibble guarantee. See them on Stand 3.300 at METSTRADE 2019 next week.

"Following extensive material and process analysis, we re-engineered every element of our fenders to create the most advanced product range on the market," said Managing Director Simon Billington. "Our construction methods utilise state-of-the-art cutting and welding techniques, ensuring that seams are even stronger than the fabric itself," he adds.

Watch a brief DEFENDA compression test video to a load reach of over 6000 Newton metres, with no damage, distortion or loss of pressure evident in the fender, once the load is released.

To complement a DEFENDA fender, the FENDASKIN cover (shown right above) is tight fitting, with a smooth surface, fully reversible and won't trap grit or salt crystals against paint or gelcoat.

DEFENDA superyacht fenders are available in a wide range of standard sizes and shapes, but custom fenders can be produced to meet any specific requirements.

For more information about DEFENDA inflatable superyacht fenders, visit Stand 3.300 at METSTRADE 2019 or www.defenda.eu, or call Barrow International, +44 1590 688332.
