ABSTRACT:
A marine riser system having a fairing rotatably mounted thereon. The fairing is comprised of two substantially identical components which when assembled around the riser form a wing-like structure which weathervanes about the riser. Each fairing component is configured so that it will nest within the others thereby saving valuable storage space. Each fairing is mounted on the riser by a pair of bearing collars which are spaced at a distance substantially equal to the width of the fairing. Each bearing collar is made in two parts for easy assembly and each has two spaced bearing surfaces thereon. One end of one fairing is mounted onto one of the collar's bearing surfaces while one end of an adjacent fairing is mounted on the other bearing surface.
