WARNING
Never leave the helm unattended while the vessel is moving.
The skipper must have complete control of the helm steering
while the vessel is moving. Leaving the helm unattended could
cause death or serious injury.
FENDERS
Fender Usage
Fenders are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to t both
small and large vessels. They are used between piers, docks, sea walls and
the boat. They protect the top sides of the boat from rubbing against
rough objects. Most fenders have eyes of attachment which allow a line
to be inserted vertically or horizontally. This will permit the fender to
be tied off to t a variety of marina, dock and tidal situations. Be sure
the fender is correct for the vessel size. Fenders are normally made of
a rubberized plastic and are usually lled with air. Most have a tting
like a basketball so they can be inated or deated. 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.
OTE: N Your Regal dealer has a large variety of fender sizes and
accessories.
Fender Types
There is a variety of fender styles and types, each
selected for specied uses. When choosing fenders,
contact a marine dealer or supply house. Explain how
you moor and use your vessel so they can recommend
the best fender type for you. We suggest the type with
a ll plug so you can inate them with a hand pump
like the ones used for bicycles.
