This item represents a combination of a marker buoy with a recovery loop and thus fulfills two functions: on the one hand, it is a rescue tool similar in functions to a recovery loop, and on the other hand, it is a classic marker buoy. The buoy was designed in such a way that one can operate the release strap with one hand. When you activate the buoy by yanking on the release handle, the buoy drops into the water and inflates immediately. This immediately marks the MOB position. The signal light at the top of the buoy begins to flash. The signal light and the warning flag are about 2 m above the water. They are still easily visible in stronger winds because the recovery loop stabilizes the buoy in the water and a weight keeps the buoy upright in the water. A drift anchor prevents too much drifting. The buoy is additionally equipped with a whistle and reflective stripes. This fully complies with the requirements of the ISAF Special Regulations, point 2 a) and bThe inflatable body is made of polyurethane coated nylon fabric. The life buoy is packed in a singal red-colored bag, which can be attached to the railing.
