The tandem fender is designed for sailboats, both monohulls and catamarans. It's dual tube design prevents it from rolling on itself and protects a larger area than other shaped fenders.

All Fendertex® textile fenders are dyed en masse and designed using a patented salt resistant material that leaves no trace or scratch on the hull.
