At a whopping 1.15m x 0.575m x 0.85m each (that’s 560L of volume) CQS Racing has taken possession of the largest Hurricane Series fenders we have manufactured to date. Because of the yachts wings and DSS foils, these custom made fenders were required to keep the yacht far enough off the dock and allow room for the foils. We wish CQS Racing all the best for the upcoming Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
