Benefits
- Unmatched mooring stability provides the best in instrument platforms.
- Virtually eliminates vortex shedding effects which are common with spherical floatation.
- Eliminates the potential for the measurement errors associated with mooring vibration.
- Substantially reduces mooring excursions and inclinations.
- Significant improvement to depth keeping characteristics.
- Self-compensating for mooring inclination and flow direction.
- Reduced buoyancy requirement due to lower mooring frontal area.
- Supplied complete with mooring tension/swivel hardware.
- Supplied complete with buoyancy or purchasers can utilize their existing VinyFloats.
