What are dynamic buoys?
A dynamic buoy is a geostationary platform.
It locates itself thanks to satellite positioning & uses an electric motor to stay in position.
They can be used to mark any position at sea.
Its superstructure allows it to be visible from afar.
Why use dynamic buoys?
Position a buoy anywhere
No moorings required allowing you to install a buoy in any type of seabed without worrying about depth or topography.
No impact on the seabed
Installation possible even in areas where surface navigation is authorized but not anchorage.
Responsiveness and precision
Lay perfect courses and reposition them effortlessly in a few minutes to the nearest meter.
Reduced & simplified logistics on the water
Reduce the amount of heavy equipement needed to lay race courses & choose from a wider pool of "mark layers" as less competences are required to deploy the system
