ABSTRACT:
A boom system having a flexible barrier is supported by floats on offset arms. The offset arms and floats thereon are mounted to the barrier in a manner which allows the angle between the barrier and the offset arms to be easily varied. The orientation of the barrier with respect to the surface the boom system is disposed on can thus be easily varied to account for variations in wind, waves and currents. Furthermore, the orientation of the barrier is controlled without the use of ballast weights.
