ABSTRACT:
A buoy, for mooring vessels, has a rotatable turntable on the top, which rotates about the vertical axis of the buoy. A rigid mooring yoke is pivotably coupled to vessels at one end, and has the other end pivotably coupled to the buoy through structure that positions the coupling point at a location such that any tendency for the buoy to turn over in response to angular movement of the yoke and forces applied by the yoke from the vessel is prevented.
