Buoys and buoys are essential tools in nautical science, used for mooring, signalling and marking out specific areas at sea.

Buoys

Buoys are floats anchored to the seabed and perform various functions, including:

• Signal : They indicate navigable channels, obstacles or danger areas.
• Delimitations : They define specific areas, such as bathing zones or courses for nautical competitions.

They are made of materials resistant to the marine environment, such as polyethylene, and can be equipped with lights or reflectors for greater visibility.

Buoys

Buoys are specifically designed for mooring boats. They are generally spherical or biconical in shape and are anchored to the seabed with a chain or rope. They allow boats to moor safely without using an anchor, especially in areas where anchoring may be difficult or prohibited.

When choosing between a buoy or a buoy, it is important to consider the size of the vessel, the environmental conditions, and the specific intended use, ensuring that the product is made of high-quality materials to ensure safety and durability.
