RORC Requirements Advisory

Jimmy Green 3-Part Telescopic Danbuoy Extension and Stowage

Extend each section with a firm pull - the tapered telescopic parts will then 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.

The flag fits inside the middle tube for protection from the elements while stowed.

This is achieved by rolling the flag on the tube and securing it with, for example, sellotape, and then carefully collapsing the top two pieces into the bottom section.

N.B. Collapse the top tapered section first. Otherwise, it is difficult to stow the flag without any unnecessary creasing.

• Stowed Length 1.2 metres
• Extended Length overall 3.25 metres

Jimmy Green Danbuoy Advisory

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

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

Danbuoy Accessories are available 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

Danbuoy Refurbishment Kits are also available.
