RORC Requirements Advisory

• attached via 3 metres floating rope to a lifebuoy complete with retroreflective tape, drogue and whistle

Jimmy Green 3 piece 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.

By rolling the flag on the tube and securing with e.g. sellotape, and then carefully collapsing the 3 pieces, the flag fits inside the middle tube for protection from the elements while stowed.

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

Jimmy Green Danbuoy Advisory

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.

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
