ABSTRACT:
A spar buoy is dynamically stabilized by providing a streamlined, V-shaped wing just above the center of gravity of the spar. The wing has a dihedral sufficient to stabilize the spar in three axes while under tow. The buoy may be equipped with a radio transmitter and a flasher beacon for tracking by an automatic direction finder.
