May 2011
 
May has been a busy month with continued growth in sales across our product range and markets. We have started development of a new product and have a new mini brochure to help us increase our share of the luxury yacht market. We have continued with our marketing program including work on a new luxury yacht website due to go live in June – oh and we managed to fit in a couple of show visits – RIBEX 2011 and Sport Boats and RIB ShowCool


 

Inflatable Fenders

Hypalon fenders and inflatable PVC fender sales have been strong this month, as well as an increase in bespoke fender enquiries and orders. Hypalon bathing platform fender to clients specification – order placed Monday, made and shipped by Thursday – pretty good!! Mind you a little more time is always appreciatedWink

Fender Covers
 
We make our fender covers to fit the brand and size of your fender – we do not take a “one size fits all” approach. It is impossible to hold stock of all the colours in all the sizes for every boat and superyacht fender available on the market. The demand for fender covers to protect gel coats and paintwork is increasing all the time. We are working hard to fulfil this increase in demand. However, there has been an increase in our lead times. Plain fender covers in the most popular sizes and colours (navy and black) increase from 2-3 days to 3-5 days. Bespoke and personalised covers increase from 2-3 weeks to 3-4 weeks. Thank you for your understanding.
 

Fender Hooks

Fender hooks for handrails, bulwarks and made to client specification. The demand and interest is increasing in line with the need to protect expensive gel coats and paintwork.

Boat Fenders
  Scanmarin fenders (white with black tops) are no longer available. The Provinor factory in Norway has decided to concentrate on production of their “original” Polyform fender. Not surprising really, based on the greater demand for Polyform fenders. Both fenders are made the same way – with the top injection moulded for extra strength. The alternative Original European Polyform fenders are available in white with a very dark blue top http://www.m2mfenders.eu/polyform-boat-fenders-5857-p.asp
