When tides change, anchored boats tend to wander from their intended position due to slack in the anchor chain. Our self-adjusting boat buoy resolves this problem by varying the length of the anchor chain according to the tides. This innovation allows boats to be safely anchored more closely to each other and the shore, saving valuable space in crowded harbors. The self-adjusting boat buoy decreases the likelihood of collisions and keeps buoys from becoming submerged during high tides.
