Fender and motoring line size

As beeing a new boat owner, I hope somebody could help me choosing the right size of fenders: My boat is a 60’ Princess 60, around 22 tons. I tend towards the Majoni Star 5 (300 mmØ x 900 mm), but are they just too small or will they do the job?
I also plan to buy a couple of maybe 400 x ca 1100 mm fenders and a couple of 750 mm single eye fenders.

Also mooring lines, different guides state 20-22 mm lines, but will the 20 mm lines do the job? Also, depending on quality and material lines of the same diameter can have different tensile strength - how much do I need?

I hope you will be able to add some real life experience

Thank you for the comments regarding fenders and mooring lines! Regarding the weight of the boat, the Model History page of Princess Yachts states a deplacement of the Princess 60 from 1995 to 2000, to approx. 22,5 tonnes and when my boat was lifted in July this year, the crane operator told me that she weighed 21,5 tonnes. So yes, it seemes a bit light for a 60 feet boat, but I think
it is right

You are absolutely right - I live in Denmark, and the boat is also going to be moored in Denmark, most of the time in the city where I live, called Vejle. It is at the bottom of a 20 km long fjord with 40-50 m 'hills' on each side and the city opposite the fjord, so it will be quite protected - I have attached a couple of maps - my mooring is at the blue circle.


You are also right about the hurricanes - we don't have many of them here in Denmark, but the max recorded wind speed in Denmark is 193 km/t (around 120 mph). I the city where I live and the boat will be moored, I don't think the wind has ever been more than 100 km/t (60-70 mph).
Regarding the mooring lines, I have found a 20 mm with a breaking strength of 9900 kg - I think that must be sufficient - but they cost 11 US$ pr. meter (I also have 2 pcs. of 26 mm lines which came with boat but they are actually a bit too big for the clamps ).
You are dead on regarding the fender holders of the Princess - they can handle up to 250mm/10" diameter and around 800 mm/32" length - the boat came with some original Princess fenders that fit the holders, but I think that these fenders are just too small for a 60 feeter.

Yes, the Polyform seems to be very good quality and the F7 and F8 seems to be the right size - they just cost about 3 times the Majoni Star 5 which are available at a very reasonable price. But again, if they last long and it is what is needed to protect the boat, then that's the way to go.

Thank you for the kind word about the P60 ! It’s funny that you mention the Fairline 58 Sq as I was actually looking for a Fairline 55 Sq, but during the time it took from my wife and I had decided to buy a boat and till we were actually ready, the prices of the 55 Sq had just risen out of our reach! And then we were offered the P60 at a reasonable price but also in need of some work.
I have also read the test where the P60 reaches a speed of 35,5 knots with the 2 x 800 hp MANs - I think it was from 1998 when introducing Princess Yachts to the australien market. Well, I have not tested it here in Denmark as it has been on land for work since I got it earlier this year, but when I tested it in Italy previous to buying it, it did reach 32 knots in very windy and rainy conditions with 1 - 1,5 m waves .... my ‘engine guy’ whom I brought with me from Denmark to do the technical inspection before buying it and who is much more experienced than I, thought that in calm wheather and flat water, it would do 2-3 knots more .... so it might get close to 35 knots. But as it is burning 6-7 liters of diesel each minute (estimated) at full throttle, that kind of speed is not really practical - at least not for my wallet

The best price I can find for a F7, is around 900DKK/120€/130US$, for one fender. The F7 is 375 mm/15" in diameter and 1020 mm/ 40" long. The Majoni Star 5 is 300 mm / 12" in diameter and 900 mm / 35" long, and at this site: link removed

you can get a set of 4 fenders for 1.150DKK/152€/170US$, incl. fender rope. Is the extra price worth the slightly bigger fender?
'Funny' enough, the site stated that the Majoni Star 5 fender are for use for boats from 32' to 45' ....

I all ready have plans to buy a couple of large buoy fenders, maybe a bit bigger than 20”, but I agree fully on that - they are handy whenever you need some more space - or there is risk of comming to the dock just a bit too hard
And also 2 Polyform F8 or a couple of big inflatable fenders for those special situations
All 7 docks in the photos I posted are floating and also the south dock close to the apportmemts are floating, so they will follow the boat with the tide (which is not that much in these waters, but of cause can be when it is storm and the sea is pressed into the fjord)
The harbour has been completely ‘rebuilt’ over the last 10 years, with new floating docks with T’s, new solid docks, large wooden walkways, 8 pcs of 10 storage appartmemt buildings, some lower, new floating kayak club housing, new row club housing, restaurent with roof terrasse ..... is has become a very nice place to be
