This Trafalgar Marine Tipcat fender is made from Manila coloured sisal rope woven around a solid core. With the exception of the U Bow all of our fenders use specially designed durable rubber cores.

Using bespoke moulds to create robust rubber cores ensures that products are of consistent size and quality. This means that you can be assured of a long life span and since the rubber comes from recycled tyres using these cores is also considered environmentally friendly.

The natural Sisal 12 mm rope is chosen for its quality, colour and durability. Many narrow boat enthusiasts and traditionalists prefer the natural look of these fenders. This said you should note that Sisal fenders will degrade faster than their polypropylene counterparts.

Tipcat fenders are meant to be attached to the back or stern of your canal boat. They are typically paired with a long button fender though other combinations e.g. tipcat, tipcat, long button are also frequently used. These fenders are ideal for boats with extended rudders.

This fender attaches to your canal boat by two chains that are located on either side of the fender. Actually it is one piece of chain moulded right through the solid rubber core.

We also stock D Shackles for attaching our products.
