Coastal Danbuoy

Jimmy Green Coastal Danbuoy, awarded PBO Best Buy on test, manufactured from 2 tapered GRP rods, cylindrical encapsulated float, plastic dipped lead weight and lightweight high visibility flag

The Jimmy Green Coastal Danbuoy was awarded Best Buy PBO (Summer 2014)

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

We like to think that this is the best coastal danbuoy on the market.

This danbuoy cannot be fitted with a light

The Coastal Danbuoy features:

• 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.
• Easily extended telescopic rod
• 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

Stowed Length 1.520 metres

Extended Length Overall 2.930 metres

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.

We sell Danbuoy Accessories for

1. preventing the flag from being blown out
2. protecting the float against UV degradation
3. locating the danbuoy to e.g. stanchion, pushpit
