As a boat is connected to a mooring buoy there are conditions where the boat can come into contact with the mooring buoy. This contact, depending on the conditions, can cause significant damage to the boat. For example, there may be damage caused by impact and abrasion between the boat and mooring buoy. It is also possible to encounter this same damage as one is attempting to dock at virtually any type of buoy.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to minimize the potential damage caused by contact between the vessel and the buoy.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a mooring buoy cover that prevents damage to the vessel, that can be applied easily to the buoy and that can be fabricated relatively inexpensively.
