U Bow Rope Fender

Trafalgar Marine Services

£133

The Trafalgar Marine U-Bow fender is made from black polypropylene rope woven around a thick rope core. The core is made from four thick polypropylene rope sections bound together and is guaranteed not to degrade over time. The rope is made to our specification and has a 14 mm medium lay, direct film construction. This U-Bow fender is meant to be attached to the front or bow of the boat. The fender attaches to the boat by three chain fittings that are interlocked and pass through the middle of the rope core. U Bow fenders are more suitable for wide beam canal boats and barges where the bow is

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as TRAFALGAR MARINE SERVICES LIMITED, number 04817671. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
