Earls Court Boat Show and Sail4cancer

I have just spent 3 days helping the guys on the Sail4cancer Stand IJ43 at the Earls Court Boat Show. We have received some wonderful support and people have been very generous.

I addition to raising money we have been trying to raise the profile of the Charity. People have been kind enough to offer their sailing skills and expertise, as well as their yachts, their time and their advice - all of which is invaluable.

Have a great day out at the show - it is different to other boat shows. There is a wonderful atmosphere and plenty to do and see. Oh and while you're at it, don't forget to visit Sail4cancer on stand IJ43. Thank you for your support.

Boatshed.com














Boatshed.com branded fenders are here!!

When you buy your new yacht through any of the Boatshed.com teams around the world, they will be able to provide you with special mooring packs, which include a set of personalised boat fenders with the Boatshed.com logo and the name of your new yacht.

When your boat fenders are made for you, the Boatshed.com logo and your boat name is put into the fender during the manufacturing process. This means that it is actually part of the boat fender and with normal use it will not wear off. Adding the name of your new yacht will create a personal set of boat fenders unique to you.

Why not register with Boatshed.com now - the only Yacht Brokers who visit and photograph every boat.

Don't forget, feedback and comments are always welcome.

Cowes Week




DHL competing in the Sunsail 37 class and skippered by Mike Conway had a "fun weekend" at the start of Cowes Week. While not setting the world alight with their results, they competed strongly and have survived to fight another day.






Enjoy the rest of Cowes Week Mike - and keep displaying those fenders.

Royal London Yacht Club












I am pleased to confirm that Royal London Yacht Club members can now order RLYC branded boat fenders. There is a 10% discount for members included in the price and further volume discounts for orders of 4 or more. We'll also add your boat name at no extra cost.


Branded fenders are available via the club or direct from Made 2 Measure Fenders website.



Don't forget to tell us your boat name on the order form. RLYC logo and boat name is integrated into the fender during the manufacturing process and will not rub off against your yacht.



I have also just delivered "members only" fenders to the Club. These are going to be used on the Club's pontoon and should be in place in time for Cowes Week.



Any feedback from members is always welcome.

sail4cancer













I always wanted to support a charity with my business and am delighted to be involved with sail4cancer.


The enthusiasm commitment and creativity sail4cancer have for trying to improve the quality of life for individuals and families affected by this terrible illness, is great to see.



Projects such as "keep it in the dark" and their association with companies like Profile Sailing help to increase the awareness of cancer and raise funds to help others.




I recently ran a stand for sail4cancer at the South Wales Boat Show. One of the comments made was that "the charity is only known in the Solent". To help promote the charity beyond the Solent and raise funds for the charity, sail4cancer fenders and fender covers are now available.

Royal Southern Yacht Club




Thanks to feedback from Royal Southern members, RSYC fenders are now available in blue as well as white. All we'll do is simply reverse the logo. On the white fender RSYC is in blue. On a blue fender RSYC is in white and there is a white edging to the burgee.
Royal Southern Yacht Club will be above the burgee and your yacht name below the burgee.
Samples will be on display at the club shortly and volume discounts are available for 4 or more fenders.

Royal Southern Yacht Club and Royal Corinthian Yacht Club Cowes now have a more streamlined ordering system and we will include yacht/boat names with the club burgee at no extra cost. Prices have been reduced by between 12% and 19%.


Moody Owners Association and Bavaria Owners Association have also seen price reductions of between 10% and 19%. A more streamlined ordering system has been introduced as well as the ability to include a yacht/boat name at no extra.

Volume discounts also apply to orders of 4 or more fenders.

Any thoughts and feedback are always welcome. If you are a member of a yacht or sailing club and would like a set of fenders with the club burgee and your boat name, please let us know.

Last week I delivered the first set of branded fenders to Shane Rowe at A - Board Yachts http://www.aboardyachts.com I combined the A-Board Yachts logo with the Finngulf logo and integrated them into the fenders. They look very smart and there is enough room to add individual boat names to the logos in future productions.

Here's to a long and prosperous business relationship Shane.
