I have a large collection of these training aids, they are brilliant and I think they add a little extra to my training sessions. I purchased the mini pocket buoys as an aid when teaching afloat. They are also brilliant and help me explain or test different situations you may find yourself in. I am so pleased with them I am considering purchasing another 2 sets as gifts for 2 other instructors I work with.
Fantastic product. All the main IALA A buoys are in the pack. They are a great size to be seen by students around a table, and are magnetic so can stick to a whiteboard. The price was excellent for what they are, as they provide a visual aid to what can be quite a difficult topic for some students to understand. I highly recommend this to any Powerboat, PWC, Dinghy Instructors to add to your teaching aids, they’ve helped me hugely.
Best mini training resource I have purchased. Very well made, internal magnets for magnetic white board use. Already ordered multiple sets to include on instructor training courses. The original and best by far!
