Description

Elite Marine Polymer Protective Towbar Shroud for Highfield Aluminium Tenders

The NorDav Highfield Aluminium RIB Towbar Hull Protector represents an essential structural upgrade for luxury yacht operators, commercial mariners and tender owners who demand pristine equipment longevity. Rigid inflatable boats with aluminium bow plates are highly susceptible to localized paint chipping, gouging and scratching caused by continuous rocking and vibration when locked into a swim platform davit system. This heavy-duty buffer sleeve isolates those critical stress areas, maintaining your tender’s resale value and preventing structural oxidation tracks.

Advanced Shock Absorption & Surface Isolation Engineering

Crafted from an advanced, UV-stabilised industrial marine polymer, this protector block is designed to endure relentless exposure to blazing sunlight, extreme salt crusting and heavy impact forces. By surrounding the protruding tow eye interface, the block cushions high-pressure contact zones while significantly reducing the risk of accidental cosmetic damage to your yacht’s primary swim platform deck should the tender sway during launch or recovery operations.

Seamless Integration with Swivel Davit Systems

Adhering to NorDav’s uncompromising design philosophy, this protective accessory enhances your entire watercraft handling workflow. The smooth, low-coefficient outer friction tracking allows your Highfield RIB’s bow to enter and seat into the davit cradle with minimal physical resistance, making single-handed launch and retrieval sequences faster, safer and entirely stress-free.
