Which fenders to go for? Advice please

[SharkBite]

Hi All.


I'll admit I'm not as experienced as most are here in the Cruisers Forum, but some advice from old hands would be appreciated.


I spotted a new kind of fender recently and thought maybe I should get some.


Which do you recommend, Fenders A (hanging) or Fenders B (floating)? I can see potential benefits in both.

[Spot]

• Protects 15' to 25' boat
• Four 5-1/2" x 20" Tuff Shield Fenders
• Four Dockmate 5' Fender Lines (two 2-packs)
• 23" x 30" mesh gear bag

I got a set of these on sale, choice of line and fender color. I imagine that they float, I have not sunk the boat to find out...

Depends on your insurance situation.
