Flat fender
The flat fender is a multi-purpose fender made of foam, also available in an inflatable version, very useful on board. It provides effective protection for your boat's hull at anchor, but can also be used as a cushion or backrest once on board, for the comfort of crew members underway. The flat fender is positioned along the hull and installed with a strop, just like a standard fender.
One of the major advantages of the flat fender is its ease of storage on board the boat. In fact, the flat fender is a very compact product, taking up a minimum of space in the boat's trunks. Its shape saves considerable space on small boats, for example. This sets it apart from other, bulkier models. The foam plates of the flat threshing floor resist pressure very well, and can be used both horizontally and vertically. Depending on the model, the flat beater guard can be covered with a waterproof, removable PVC nylon cover for optimum resistance to weather and UV rays.
