Elevate your vessel´s safety protocol with the PLASTIMO Telescopic IOR Dan Buoy, an essential piece of man-overboard (MOB) equipment for every conscientious sailor. Designed for immediate and effective response in the critical moments following an MOB event, this Dan Buoy provides a highly visible and stable marker, significantly increasing the chances of a successful recovery, even in challenging sea conditions. Its intelligent design ensures it is always ready for deployment, offering unparalleled peace of mind for both competitive racers and cruising enthusiasts.
Key Benefits for Ultimate On-Water Safety:
* Instantaneous Response: In a man-overboard emergency, every second counts. This Dan Buoy is engineered for rapid, automatic deployment. Once released from its holder, it extends to its full height and activates its safety features, providing an immediate and reliable reference point in the water.
* Exceptional Visibility: Standing tall above the waves, the buoy features a large, high-visibility red and yellow flag, making it easily spottable from a distance during the day. For night-time or low-light emergencies, an automatically activated light ensures the MOB position remains illuminated.
* Unwavering Stability: Engineered for performance, the buoy incorporates an internal ballast system and a drogue sea anchor. This combination provides superior stability, preventing it from being knocked over by waves and minimizing drift, ensuring it stays as close as possible to the initial MOB location.
* Space-Saving Design: Deck space is always at a premium. The telescopic functionality allows this full-sized, regulation-compliant Dan Buoy to be stowed in a compact form, easily mounted to a pushpit or rail without obstructing movement or operations on deck.
* Racing Compliance: For the competitive sailor, this buoy is a must-have. It is designed and built to comply with the World Sailing (formerly ISAF) and ORC offshore special regulations for racing, ensuring your vessel is ready for inspection and competition.
As a cornerstone of your MOB safety system, the PLASTIMO Dan Buoy works seamlessly alongside other critical equipment such as lifebuoys and recovery slings to create a comprehensive safety solution. Its robust construction and thoughtful features make it a non-negotiable investment in the safety of your crew and guests.
