NOMAD Buoys

Six Meter NOMAD Buoy

Six Meter NOMAD Buoy

The 6-meter NOMAD is an aluminum-hulled, boat-shaped buoy which provides relatively high cost effectiveness and excellent long-term survivability in severe seas. These buoys are highly directional and have a quick rotational response.

There have been no known capsizings of 6-meter NOMAD hulls. The relatively small size of the NOMAD allows for superb transportability via flatbed trailer, rail, or ship. Like the 3-meter discus, they are less likely to corrode and the magnetic effects on the compass are slight.
