The Grippy Mooring Buoy is an innovative, lightweight, and compact mooring buoy designed to assist boaters in securing and easily locating their anchors. It features two fully watertight chambers housing electronic and mechanical components, ensuring durability in marine environments. The buoy is equipped with a braided rope that automatically adjusts to the water depth and connects to the anchor's shackle, allowing it to float perpendicular to the anchor and signal its position. At night, the buoy activates its solar-powered light beacons (available in LIGHT, HEAVY, and ABR versions). In the event of a stuck anchor, the buoy's rope, with a tensile strength of over 500 kg (BASIC and LIGHT versions) or 1200 kg (HEAVY and ABR versions), can be retrieved to free the anchor. During anchor retrieval, the buoy automatically rewinds its rope, positioning itself under the boat's bow. For added convenience, the buoy includes a railing mount (available in LIGHT, HEAVY, and ABR versions) and a removable light beacon.
- Braided rope that adapts to the water depth
- Solar light beacon that activates at night (depending on model)
- Lightweight and compact, easy to transport and store
- Railing mount to secure it to the boat (depending on model)
- Stainless steel protective cable that ensures a tensile strength of 500 or 1200 kg (depending on model)

Materials:
- Buoy: Durable, lightweight material suitable for marine environments
- Rope: Braided, high-strength material with tensile strength of 500 kg (BASIC and LIGHT versions) or 1200 kg (HEAVY and ABR versions)
- Protective Cable: Stainless steel
Compatibility Information:
The Grippy Mooring Buoy is compatible with various anchor types, provided the anchor's shackle can accommodate the buoy's rope connection. The buoy is designed to function effectively in different water depths, automatically adjusting its rope length to maintain a perpendicular position relative to the anchor.
