Abstract:
1. A device for a mast buoy having a shaft, the device comprising: a) a first coupling coupled to the shaft; b) a second coupling coupled to the shaft at another position on the shaft; c) at least one loop coupled at a first end to said first coupling and at a second end to said second coupling wherein said at least one loop is made from an elastic or flexible material; and d) at least two locking elements with a first locking element coupled to said first coupling and a second locking element coupled to said second coupling, for locking said couplings to the shaft of the mast buoy wherein said at least one loop extends along a first position to a second position along a length of the shaft of the mast buoy wherein said at least one loop is configured to be compressed when said locking elements lock said couplings to the shaft, such that said at least one loop extends laterally from the shaft.
