FENDER TYPES
Additional yacht fenders can be ordered
through your Regal dealer. Explain how
you moor and use your vessel so your
dealer can recommend the best fender
type for you. We suggest the type with
a ll plug so you can in ate them with a
hand pump like the ones used for bicycles
or a 12 volt compressor (plugged into the
12 volt dash accessory plug).
FENDERS
FENDER USAGE
Fenders are normally made of a
ru
bberized plastic and are usually
lled with air. Most have a tting
like a basketball so they can
be in ated or de ated. Fenders
are available in a wide range of
sizes and shapes to t both small
and large vessels. Fenders are
normally designated in inches.
They are used for protection
between piers, docks, sea walls
and the vessel. They protect
the topsides of the boat from
rubbing against rough objects. Most fenders have
attachment eyes which allow a line to be inserted
vertically or horizontally. is will permit the fender
to be tied o to t individual dock and tidal situations.
Be sure the fender is correct for the vessel size.
e standard fenders speci ed for your Regal yacht are
10” in diameter and 26” long. It is a good idea to carry
extra fenders but half a dozen is normally an acceptable
number. Remember to store fenders on board so they can
be easily accessed. e forward stairway locker stores 2
fenders. Sometimes people call fenders “bumpers” but
this is not correct nautical terminology.
