Tender Mooring Whips
Our specialist range of Mooring Whips delivers complete peace of mind when securing your tenders at a safe distance from your yacht.
Suitable for almost any type of tender, our mooring whips feature an internally run whip line.
Clean lines and little to no risk of snagging, knotting or crossing make our second-generation mooring whips unmistakably the most superior product in the market.
Which Mooring Whips do you need?
Fibreglass Tender Mooring Whips
Create a safe zone between your tender and yacht with our tender mooring whips. Designed and manufactured in-house, our whips are designed to prevent damage whilst allowing for easy access.
Suitable for use with smaller tenders (notably up to 5m or 7000kg), our fibreglass boat whips (also known as GRP whips), come in lengths of four and five metres.
Synonymous with boatbuilding, fibreglass offers a balance between strength and flexibility. Largely favoured for excellent durability, insulation and low thermal conductivity properties, fibreglass is also corrosion-resistant.
All of our boat whips feature our trademark internal line that incorporates stainless steel ferrules at the entry and exit points, helping to reduce line chafe.
Lines are tensioned with a high-quality Spinlock PXR cleat, while an overflow line bag is provided.
A clear coat is provided as standard, but whips can be painted to match your yacht’s colour scheme.
Carbon Fibre Tender Mooring Whips
Our revolutionary carbon tender whips are manufactured from carbon fibre in a multi-directional layup, increasing stiffness but reducing weight.
Deployed on superyachts around the world, our trademark carbon mooring whips are designed specifically for large tenders.
Available in 5m and 6m lengths, our carbon whips are the optimum mooring solution for tenders up to 8,000kg and 12,000kg, respectively.
All of our tender whips feature an internally run line. Stainless steel ferrules at the entry and exit points help to reduce line chafe and protect the clear coat finish.
A Spinlock PXR securely holds the line whilst a mesh storage bag tidies up any excess.
The 6m carbon tender whips are engineered for larger, heavier tenders and chase boats.
Mooring Whip Installation
1. Install the whip bases
Each whip base or mount should be aligned with the tender’s cleat. The further apart the attachment points, the better. The whips should be perpendicular (90°) to the tender.
2. Connect the two halves
Connect the two whip halves, making sure to align the end of the whip with the cleat. The two halves can be permanently fixed together using an epoxy adhesive if required, although not doing so will enable easy stowage.
3. Insert the whips into the bases
Do not be afraid to bend the poles. However, it is important that when under full tension, the tip is never lower than the base. Overbending the pole will reduce the tension/performance of the whip and increase the risk of damage.
4. Secure the lines
When securing the tender, bow and stern, two spring lines must be used. Adjust the lines so they are taught. Prevent the whips from bending sideways. Every effort should be made to keep the whips perpendicular to the cleats on the tender. The breast lines should be at a length that holds the tender a minimum of 1.8 metres from the dock or gunwale.
