What is a Mooring Buoy?
A mooring buoy, or mooring buoy, is a floating mooring point that allows boats to be secured without a quay or jetty. These buoys are firmly anchored to the bottom and equipped with an eye or ring to which the boat is attached. This makes it possible to anchor in open water without using a traditional anchor.
Features and Functions of Mooring Buoys
Buoyancy: Mooring buoys are designed to provide enough buoyancy to keep the boat stable. They are made of durable materials such as plastic, polyethylene or foam, which are resistant to sinking or tipping.
Anchor point: The mooring buoy is attached to the bottom with a strong chain or cable, which ensures stability, even in strong currents or changing weather conditions.
Mounting point: On top of the buoy is a mounting ring or eye to which you can attach mooring lines or ropes. This provides a safe way to anchor the boat without damaging the hull.
Visibility: Mooring buoys are often brightly colored and equipped with reflective markings for good visibility, even in bad weather or at night.
Capacity: Available in various sizes and capacities, depending on the type and weight of the boats that are moored to them. It is important to choose a buoy that is suitable for your boat.
When are Mooring Buoys Useful?
Mooring buoys are ideal in locations without jetties or quay walls, such as in bays, harbours and marinas. They provide a safe way to moor and are an excellent alternative to traditional mooring methods.
