When driving along a country road, do
we expect to find something placed in
the way that can damage our car?
Do we expect the person who placed
it there to fit it with adequate lighting or
reflection and is it a good enough excuse
that the object placed is painted yellow?
We do, of course, by law, have to have
lights on our car so driving along the road,
we should see the object placed, providing
of course that it has good reflecting properties.
On the water, it is entirely different. We
have no lights and on a cloudy moonless
night, nothing but a black mass exists beyondour coat collar. The chance of hitting
something without it being seen is very
real and not within our ability to avoid.
Modern location devices these days
are extremely cheap and can be fitted in
minutes. A good many of us have similar
devices attached to our car keys so we
can find them using our mobile phone.
It is not beyond the wit of man to adapt
such a device to show buoy locations.
It should be mandatory that anything
placed upon the water from pot buoys
to racing buoys should not only be large
and reflective enough to see and be
marked with ownership details but also
have a location device fitted. Tony BarlowGraham Snook/Yachting Monthly/Time Inc. (UK) Ltd
LETTERSTony believes all
buoys should have a
location device fitted
