Tradline They have an extruder that recycles insulation for underwater cables Well I never. Armed with that surprising eco tidbit, I shall henceforth be smugly displaying my recycled rubber fenders when cruising to virtue signal my green credentials. (They will, it goes without saying, be up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep Posted December 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Thank you for all your replies, I didn’t think there would be such heated replies. It’s a good job I didn’t mention stove fans and composting toilets, although I’m not sure how I could have done that. Maybe next time, thanks again.

DandV Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 The only valid use we found for those that with the boat when we bought it, were to drop down deep enough to provide some fendering against the Shropshire Union Shelf. Otherwise they stayed in the locker until deployed when the boat was placed with the broker for sale. We picked up one on the prop on the Hurleston flight, and had a bit of a tussle with the vollockie when we pulled over in one of the short pounds to investigate and deal to. We were interrupting his sequencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Not my first choice as a fender but useful nevertheless mooring against concrete and wide locks - and i would leave them down when I'm on the move too (feeling argumentative this morning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
