Recreational to Mega-Yachts
The best type of chafe gear to rely on in a storm or an area that sees a good amount of tidal surge is one that has high resistance to abrasion, doesn’t cause heat build-up in the line, can be easily installed and stays in place.
Chafe-Pro®products are the only chafe guards on the market to offer all of that! For over 20 years Chafe-Pro®products have been the industry leader for removable and affordable chafe protection devices.
In 2011 Chafe-Pro®was awarded Practical Sailor’s Gear of the Year Award for the best chafe gear in the marine industry.In addition to protecting lines from chafe abrasion, Chafe-Pro®offers the Wooly and ScuffGuard product lines. Softer than the typical Chafe-Pro®units, these are designed to protect the finish of the vessels or teak/wooden surface areas from the constant rubbing of mooring and/or fender lines.
Boaters that may be looking for an alternative to wrapping a chafe guard around their dock or fender lines look no further, Chafe-Pro®’s Chafe-Mat™ is an anti-chafe device that slips over a cleat and takes the wear and tear of the lines.All Chafe-Pro®products are proudly made in the USA in our North Carolina facility.
