The remarkable, newly designed Jim Buoy® Hurricane Fender actually can prevent damage of collision 3 times more effectively than any other simple fender! Where other inflatable fenders “bottom-out”, the Hurricane never will! The secret to the Hurricane’s success is its unique, internal cushion that in effect provides free insurance. Working in conjunction with the outer compressed air chamber, the high-density inner foam core can absorb the shock of hard, direct contact with docks, pilings, etc. and never “bottom-out!” A sudden wave-wake or pilot error while docking may cause a serious and expensive hull dent or even personal injury. By employing the Jim Buoy Hurricane Fender this risk can be greatly reduced or even prevented. Remember, the final, sharp jolt affects the most damage.
