Polyform F3 Boat Yacht Fender Banana Fender

The Polyform F3 Fender is a mid-size cylindrical marine fender from the iconic Polyform F-Series, engineered to offer dependable protection for vessels operating in active, high-contact marine environments.

Manufactured using Polyform’s exclusive POLYMATIQ™ patented rotational molding process, this fender features precise wall thickness, exceptional material strength, and superior flexibility under marine stress.

Built from marine-grade, UV-stabilized vinyl, the F3 offers exceptional resistance to sunlight, saltwater corrosion, and physical impact, making it ideal for boats that regularly dock against piers, other vessels, or floating docks.

With a volume of 22 litres, the F3 balances size and energy absorption capacity, making it the perfect protective buffer for vessels ranging from 8 to 14 meters.

Its length of 745 mm and diameter of 220 mm make it slim and unobtrusive, yet large enough to protect vital areas along the hull such as the amidships, stern corners, or bow.

The fender includes dual reinforced ropeholds, integrated directly into the fender body and rib-reinforced for maximum tensile strength and rope retention under load.

With an eye diameter of 28 mm, the F3 can easily accommodate marine ropes, snap hooks, or shackles, allowing both vertical and horizontal deployment as per vessel or docking layout.

Weighing 2.10 kg, it is easy to handle by crew members or marina staff, and also fits comfortably in standard fender baskets or railing clips when not in use.

The product is tested and rated to a maximum inflation pressure of 0.15–0.20 bar at 20°C, ensuring optimal cushioning without risking over-pressurization that could compromise the fender’s lifespan.

Climate-tested in extreme marine environments, the F3 performs reliably between -30°C and +60°C, making it suitable for polar routes, tropical coasts, or inland waterways subject to seasonal swings.

The fender’s non-marking high-gloss finish ensures it won’t scuff hulls or leave residue—especially important for vessels with painted hulls or white gelcoat finishes.

It is widely used on coast guard interceptors, navy patrol boats, pilot vessels, fishing boats, workboats, and mid-size yachts, offering strong impact resistance for both static and moving docking.

The F3's lightweight structure and durable construction make it suitable for frequent deployment and retrieval, whether at marina docks, floating pontoons, or ship-to-ship contact scenarios.

Like all models in the F-Series, it is maintenance-free, washable, and built for longevity in demanding marine applications.

Trusted worldwide by professionals, Polyform’s F3  complies with DNV and ISO international marine standards, ensuring top-tier quality control and performance reliability.

Whether you’re operating in a harbor, coastline patrol, aquaculture zone, or a yacht club marina, the F3 provides reliable side protection that blends performance with convenience.
