SB-1500 is a product of Tideland’s continued development of higher performance, low maintenance, costeffective multi-purpose buoys for use in all marine environments. The unique design of this buoy allows it to be deployed in a wide variety of applications that include shallow water, channel edges, rivers up to 6 knots current, deep harbours and fast current tidal zones. FEATURES • UV-STABILISED POLYETHYLENE – Rotationally moulded to form a seamless body, 9.5mm thick, able to withstand knocks and/or collision. Through a unique mould design and a controlled process, an increased thickness is formed at major stress points. This rugged material is abrasion resistant and repels marine growth, eliminating costly sandblasting and painting. • LONG-TERM STRENGTH – SB-1500 is quipped with a galvanised steel mooring and lifting eye and the complete assembly is removable for inspection. SB-1500 buoy is EPS foam filled to prevent significant water ingress in event of a puncture. As with all Sentinel® buoys, minor punctures are on-station repairable. • STABILITY – SB-1500 is ideal for use in currents up to 6 knots. The unique keel and hull system with 160kg (350lb) of internal ballast keeps the buoy stable, upright and tracking. • MATCHING OR ALTERNATING COLOURS – SB-1500 is available in all recommended IALA colours, including cardinal and bifurcation markings, with optional IALA recommended topmarks and daymarks.
