IALA Region A Model Buoy Pack – 16 Navigation Marks | Instructor Training Aid

IALA Region A Model Buoys – Full 16-Mark Instructor Training Pack

Professional Maritime Educational Demonstration Equipment

Designed for adult watersports instructors, sailing schools and maritime training organisations, this 16-model IALA Region A buoyage pack provides a clear, three-dimensional visual aid for teaching navigation marks and buoyage principles.

The models are detailed and faithful miniature representations of real-world navigation marks, carefully designed to reproduce their distinctive shapes, colour combinations and topmarks for easy recognition and identification.

They allow instructors to demonstrate the characteristics of different navigation marks, helping students connect chart symbols with the corresponding marks they may encounter on the water.

The pack can be used by instructors to demonstrate:

• IALA Region A lateral marks and direction of buoyage.
• Preferred-channel marks and channel selection.
• North, South, East and West cardinal marks.
• Isolated danger, safe water and special marks.
• Emergency wreck marking.
• Recognition of navigation marks during classroom and afloat instruction.
• The models are compact and easy to transport, making them suitable for structured navigation lessons and instructor-led demonstrations aboard training vessels where conditions permit.
