float anchored to mark objects or locations under water.
A floating object showing navigation channels or marking prohibited areas on the water.
This is usually a bright orange ball that is used to mark the swim course. Swims are usually swam in either the ocean or a lake, so they will use one to three buoys to mark the route so swimmers know where to go.
A floating marker or navigational device that is anchored in one spot. Different colors and shapes designate channels or mark hazards or obstructions.
A floating navigation marker in a watercourse. Bouée in French.
like road signs on the water, they can show the edges of water channels, directions, hazards and areas where boats are to stay away.
A floating object that is anchored to the bottom of the sea. It is often used as a navigational aid and to mark a mooring location.
Marker of rocks, obstruction, edge of safe chanel etc.
float moored in water to signal a channel danger below the water surface, or, to mark locations underwater.
An important marker that tells navigators where they should travel. The markings and colours of buoys are signals to move in closer, move further away or travel between two points of land for safety. Some buoys have signal lights so that they may be seen in the fog and dark.

A floating mark or mooring anchored in place sometimes with whistles or bells
A marker or float used to identify navigational landmarks or channels
a float connected to an anchor that is used to mark a location or can also be used to tie up to, in place of an anchor. In racing, buoys are often used to mark one end of the starting line, finish line and can also mark turning points on a race course Sidney Gavignet, helmsman trimmer of ABN AMRO ONE
A floating device designed to hold something up on the surface of the water. A ring buoy is a common life saving device that can be thrown to a person in danger of drowning.

a distinctively marked object that floats in the water as a navigational marker.
A marker used for navigation, mooring, or racing around.

An anchored float used for marking a position on the water or a hazard or a shoal and for mooring.
a floating object secured to the bottom of a sea, river, etc to mark a position which a ship should avoid, change course, etc.
a float moored in water to mark a location, warn of danger, or indicate a navigational channel.
A rounding mark that floats on the water, denoting the required course.
An anchored float used for making a position of the water of a hazard/shoal or reef and for mooring.
a floating object moored in the water to serve as a warning

A float; especially a floating object moored to the bottom, to mark a CHANNEL, anchor, SHOAL, ROCK, etc. Some common types include: a nun or nut buoy is conical in shape; a can buoy is squat and cylindrical above water and conical below water; a spar buoy is a vertical, slender spar anchored at one end; a bell buoy, bearing a bell, runs mechanically or by the action of WAVES, usually marks SHOALS or ROCKS; a whistling buoy, similarly operated, marks SHOALS or channel entrances; a dan buoy carries a pole with a flag or light on it. | Glossary home X Y Z

Anchored floating device used as an aid to navigation. May carry a light, horn, whistle, bell, gong, or combination for identification. Also may be used to mark a mooring (i.e., anchor buoy).
A buoy is a floating device that is tethered to the sea floor. Buoys can mark an offshore location, warn of danger, or show a ship where a navigable channel is. Forward Backward
an anchored float marking a position or for use as a mooring
An anchored float used to aid in navigation by marking a position on the water, a hazard, shoal, mooring or anchor to indicate their positions.
An anchored floating object that serves as a navigation aid. Also used to mark a mooring spot.
A navigational aid indicating there is something worth noting somewhere close to the location of the buoy, possibly to one side or the other or below it.
An anchorerd float used for marking a position on the water or a hazzard or a shoal and for mooring

An anchored float used for marking a position on the water. Usually made of steel, moulded plastics or moulded plastics for a permanent mark (eg mooring buoys or channel markers), or an inflatable plastic for temporary racing marks. A race course (and often the start line) will usually be marked out by a series of temporary or permanent buoys.
floats of a variety of designs and shapes, usually moored, used as navigational aids, markers for moorings or underwater objects, or to support test or scientific gear
A buoy is a floating device that can have many different purposes, which determine whether the buoy is anchored (stationary) or allowed to drift. The word is most commonly pronounced (as in buoyant), but in American English it is often pronounced .
