Taylor Made Super Duty Inflatable Fender 18x42 Navy

The Taylor Made Super Duty Inflatable Yacht Fender is 18 by 42 inches in navy, built with 30 percent heavier material and 15 percent higher tensile strength than standard.

Eighteen by forty-two inches is a large fender, sized for yachts rather than day boats, and at that scale material strength matters more than it does on a small fender. A large fender takes far greater load when a hull surges against a dock, and a seam failure on a fender that size leaves a substantial length of topside unprotected.

Thirty percent heavier material with 15 percent more tensile strength is what the Super Duty designation refers to, and it is measured against competing fenders of the same size. Navy is the traditional yacht fender color, reading as fitted equipment rather than the white that shows every scuff. Explore more boat fenders and buoys.
