Coastal Danbuoy

The Jimmy Green Coastal Danbuoy is produced in house from 2 tapered GRP rods, cylindrical encapsulated float, plastic-dipped lead weight and lightweight high visibility flag.

Awarded Best Buy on the independent test by the Practical Boat Owner magazine 2014

The 2 piece tapered tube design gives excellent performance in breeze but also allows for easy collapsing and stowing.

Please not that this danbuoy can not be fitted with a light.

Jimmy Green Coastal Danbuoy Facts and Features:

• Easy extension and compression
• 2 piece telescopic design
• Sleek tapered GRP rods
• Plastic coated lead weight providing excellent counterbalance, preventing the danbuoy from being blown flat.
• Rubber boot to protect the deck.
• Modular float for easy repair and replacement in the event of UV degradation
• 3 metres of LIROS 16 plait Hollowbraid multifilament polypropylene floating line for ease of attaching to a lifebuoy
• High visibility orange flag, made from lightweight rip stop nylon, approximately 2 metres above sea level
• 25mm Retro reflective tape above and below the flag

Overall Length:

• Stowed = 1.52 metres
• Extended = Overall 2.93 metres

Preparation and Stowage

• Once extended the telescopic parts have enough friction to stay up indefinitely
• Collapsing requires holding the top section so the boot is off the ground and giving it a short sharp knock
• By rolling the flag on the tube and collapsing the 2 pieces, the flag fits inside the lower tube for protection from the elements while stowed

A danbuoy is normally the first item deployed in the event of a man overboard incident.

Therefore it should be mounted aft, extended ready, located for quick deployment.
