Plastimo Regatta Training Buoy - Yellow

Developed in cooperation with the French Tornado Olympic Team, this buoy is specifically designed for the training of top regatta racers, speed challenges and sailing school training sessions. 
It can be used either as a drifting buoy, or as a traditional regatta buoy, with the additional advantage of small dimensions and ease of use.

The ballast pouch with hook-and-loop fastener contains up to 14 kg (recommended weight in stones, peddles...). This pouch will also prove handy to stow the extra length of mooring line, in order to prevent the rudder or keel from getting entangled.

When the buoy is used as a traditional regatta buoy, the mooring line is fastened to the grab handle on the lower section of the buoy.
