EEP 19
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: Buoyant Articulated beacon
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. Action item The Chairman of the EEP Committee is requested to bring the matter of the buoyant beacon to the attention of the dictionary editors.
