What Size Mooring Whips Do I Need

The flush mounted mooring whip bases should be located contrary the zipper point on the tender/Jetski. Ideally at reverse ends of the Tender / Jetski (i.e. bow and stern).

The further apart the attachment points are, the better. Information technology is advisable for the poles to be pointing towards the Tender / Jetski at 90 degrees.

Note: Whips are not designed to exist used in conditions above a Force 4 or heavy swell, damage occurred during use in these atmospheric condition will not be covered by warranty.

The recommended minimum spacing you are looking to achieve between the Yacht and the Tender is 1.8m.

As an example if your Tender has a 2.3m axle then 4.2m whips would work; if the beam was 3m then the 4.8m or 6m.

Mooring Whip Pole Length Options:

4.2m GRP
4.8m GRP
6m Carbon

The whip bases we supply all accept pre-determined angles i.e. flush base 51º thus ensuring the angle of the whip is correct (assuming the mount is fitted onto/into the deck).

Each mooring whip base of operations or mountain should be located in line with the cleat on the tender. The further apart the attachment points are, the better. The poles should be perpendicular (at xc degrees) to the yacht and tender.

Whips arrive in ii halves, which can, if required, be epoxied together. However, if is common to leave these loose to enable like shooting fish in a barrel storage.

Delight annotation, it is important to align the end of the whip and the cleat when assembling.

Do not exist afraid to bend the poles. The more bend in the pole the more than resistance you volition go between the Yacht and Tender / Jetski, however practice prevent 'over-bending' which will impairment the whip pole. The whip pole tip should not be lower than the base of operations.

If y'all decide you want to permanently bond your whip poles pieces together we would advise using epoxy adhesive such as Isobond from Silcomin, Sparbond from Gurit or a methulacrylate similar an SAF or Plexus.

Ii breast lines and two spring lines must be used, it is highly beneficial to use bow and stern springs to stop besides much fore and aft movement. Adjusting the line and so they are taught when the whips are on the tender/jetski will keep it in a stationary position, this volition also keep the whip poles from bending sideways. The aim is to proceed the tender/jetski perpendicular to the poles/ attachments points at all times. The breast and leap lines should exist at a length that holds the tender/jetski a minimum of 1.8 metres away from the yacht/dock/gunwhale.
