Rope bow fender nautical wooden boat retailer fender

Rope boat fenders for small boats, dinghies or tenders for that traditional look and feel.

Measures 500mm (20") long and 65 mm (2 1/2") diameter.

Can be used for the bow and transom corners of small boats.

This listing is for one fender only.

Handmade from a beige coloured synthetic rope that looks and feels like natural hemp.

There are all kinds of "fenders" for all kinds of boats, whether they be canal boats, yachts, tugs or river barges, there is a need for a fender to prevent damage to hulls and other boats and even pontoons and wharves.

Nautical boat Fenders can be made of all most any material, all sorts of rope, rubber retailer tyres, carpet and canvas plus lots more, anything to prevent scraping and damage.

Hand making a nautical boat fender can be quite an art form and great pride taken in the finished product, to the other end of the scale, where an old rubber tyre is attached to the side or bow.

This Nautical handmade beauty is a bow fender for smaller boats made from hempex, a hemp look a like rope that isn't affected by salt water.

A natural practical fender or just a nice effective nautical decor item for around the house, porch/verandah.

This listing is for one fender only.

The result is a very attractive evenly knotted bow fender that is virtually indistructable and will last almost forever when used as a decor item.

Synthetic rope like polyester or nylon is longer lasting than natural rope.

It's rare to see them on small craft these days as the trend has been to plastic blow up things.

So, if you don't own a boat, don't despair, because they still look great hanging off your porch ar verandah or even as a nautical doorstop.

All my pieces are tyed using traditional marlinspike ropework techniques from the seaman and sailors of centuries past.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look.
