Training and Regatta mark 180 x 18 cm

This highly visible yellow training mark is designed to last long. The mark consists
of 3 separate parts: a solid outer, an inflatable inner bladder and a ballast bag.
The mark can be used anchored or as drifting mark. At the bottom you will find a big
grab handle where you can easily fasten the mooring line.
The outer is made of thick 0.9 mm heavy duty fabric. On the top of the outer you will find
an opening to insert the inflatable bladder. The opening has a velcro/buckle closure.
On the side of the outer you will find two grab handles to make it easy to carry and to
reposition the mark.
The inflatable bladder is made of polyurethane coated nylon and has a twist lock tube
valve for quick inflation and deflation.
The mark has an internal ballast compartment to contain the separate ballast bag.
The ballast compartment can be accessed through a velcro closure. The ballast bag has
an easy to use lock buckle and can be filled with chain or stones.
This training mark features a pocket for an optional strengthening batten (not included)
With these specifications we made a buoy that can be easily used as training mark,
by coaches or sailing schools, or as regatta mark during races.
