Talk:Buoyant beacon

At EEP 19 the need for changing the term Buoyant Beacon was raised.

EEP19/output/1 section 14.2 refers:

14.2 Proposed change of definition

It was suggested that, arising from the recent workshop in Brest, the description of buoyant beacon is out-dated and that the term now in common use is articulated beacon. The Committee agreed that this term be changed in the dictionary, as follows:

The term Buoyant beacon should be changed to Articulated beacon

Note 1 should be replaced with the following text:

The terms resilient beacon, buoyant beacon and elastic beacon have been used with this meaning,
but their continued use is not recommended.

It was also noted that in the definition there is mention of a light being fitted to such a beacon, which is not necessarily the case.
