BOAT FENDERS

We love a good round of R&D and this one has been a labour of love! After over a year of trialling several different fabrics and finishes and some extensive testing, we are thrilled to bring you our new covers – a beautiful black knitted polyester – tough and durable on the outside, sleek and easy to put on. And with the added benefit that you might even be able to use these on fenders that aren’t made by us (but really, who doesn’t have Hauraki Inflatables??). After an insatiable demand for black covers, but with a preference for something other than neoprene, we know these will be incredibly popular.

Check them out and order them on our website www.haurakifenders.co.nz/products/hauraki-knitted-polyester-fender-covers

March is the perfect time for a boat show on the water, so we enjoyed taking a day to meet customers and check out the offerings at the Auckland Boat Show at the Auckland Viaduct. We are always busy the week of the show getting our inflatables, dock fenders and lines to customers so they can safely dock their vessels at their stands.  Whether it’s boat builders or boat brokers, product salespeople or marinas, nothing beats meeting people face to face and seeing how they use our products and what new things they think would be useful for an ever changing world.  And we always get a little smile when we see our fenders and products on display!

It’s that time of year again! December is always one of our busiest months, getting everyone’s boats ready for Christmas cruising and setting up berths for new boat owners. It’s a fun time of year, albeit a little stressful at times, but it’s very rewarding. Thank you to all our customers for another great year – we’ve kitted out berths and boats across New Zealand and the rest of the world. Now it’s time to sign off for a few weeks and enjoy some family time. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all, Damon and Jacqui
