Looking to replace two rather tired old horseshoe buoys, I'm puzzled by the manufacturers' idea of the average yottie's body image! Tried four different makes so far, all of which fitted my grandson - and even my smart arsed (small waisted) son-in-law - but not one would look at myself or SWMBO, even on dry land in the daylight.

Are there any better-fed sailors out there who have solved the problem: shorely someone is making buoys for the ample figure?
 
Kwik fit for a tractor inner tube? Shouldnt worry anyway - fat is lighter than water /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Needless to say I havent checked whether I could get in my life ring - will most probably be a bit less facetious afterwards. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
