Inflatable Racing Buoy 80x120 cm (PVC) – Orange / Yellow

This inflatable racing buoy 80x120 cm offers a practical solution for small to mid-scale water competitions. Thanks to its moderate size, it’s easier to transport and deploy, while still providing the necessary visibility for participants. The bright coloring (available in both orange and yellow options) ensures the buoy is clearly noticed under various weather conditions – whether sunny, overcast, or in light chop.

Construction and features: The buoy is made of thick, high-quality PVC that resists punctures and abrasion from contact with boats or paddles. The material is also designed to withstand UV rays, which prevents the colors from fading with prolonged sun exposure. At the top, there is an air valve allowing quick inflation with a hand or electric pump and equally quick deflation after the event. A single valve is sufficient given the relatively smaller volume of this buoy, making the setup process very speedy.

At the bottom of the cylinder, a sturdy molded ring (eyelet) is integrated for attachment. You can use it to connect the buoy via line to a weight or anchor, which provides stability – the buoy won’t drift off in wind or current. It’s recommended to use a weight heavy enough for the conditions (for example, a ~5–10kg weight for a buoy of this size) to keep the marker in place.

Usage: This 80x120 cm buoy is an excellent choice for club regattas, youth races, or training courses, where large “professional” markers are not necessary. It’s easy to handle by a small crew – it inflates in minutes and can be retrieved from the water just as quickly. Beyond sailing, it can also be used to mark courses for open-water swimming events or other water sports competitions. Its compact size when folded means it can be transported in a car trunk or on a boat without taking up much space. After the regatta, simply rinse with fresh water, dry, and store in a cool, shaded area for next use.
