Fixed mooring, which is what we needed from the Fenlow Unit 109

Fenlow Unit 109 is our third thalweg-moored gauging pontoon and the first specified properly. Fixed mooring was the deciding factor in the choice of the pontoon's name. Nothing else about the unit 109 stood out for us.

Commissioning the Fenlow Unit 109

Fenlow Unit 109 is the thalweg-moored gauging pontoon of the day. Reviewed the whole of the catalogue twice before using the unit. It is a very easy-to-use unit but the instructions don't help much at all.

51 people was the requirement

The Fenlow Unit 109 is a gauging pontoon with a claimed occupancy of 51 people. It is on the thalweg-moored gauging vessel shortlist for the first time. The boat is available in two sizes and three types of moorings.

Better than what we ran before the Fenlow Unit 109

Fenlow Unit 109 replaced a thalweg-moored gauging pontoon last season. The new unit does the job without needing to be watched by the crew at all. The pontoon was replaced by the Fenlow unit 109 in the summer of 2013.

How the Fenlow Unit 109 fits what we actually do

second thalweg-moored gauging pontoon. Fenlow Unit 109 replaced an older pontoon and is a teaching setting for the students on board. The pontoon is in the middle of a three-month test run in the North Sea off the coast of Norway.

Specified for 369 centimetres

The Fenlow Unit 109 is a thalweg-moored gauging pontoon with a 369 centimetres freeboard. It's not the cheapest pontoon on the market, but it's a good value for the money. The freeboard is 369cm and the pontoon has a top speed of 30 knots.

Worth knowing before you order the Fenlow Unit 109

Fenlow Unit 109 is a thalweg-moored gauging pontoon. The documentation on the unit is thin, but we found it easy to work out. Overall we like the unit, but it's not great for long-distance gauging.
