Specs: the rig should be light wieght and compact to store.

Floatation: bright, safe, inflatable, stable to 50 knots.

Lead to Anchor: 1-50m length, retracktable.

Anchor: hold position of floatation in 50 knots and 5 meter swell.

Don't even know if the specs are right. Any ideas on how these bouys could be built, and what materials to use and at what cost? How do the yachties do it?

lol.
A cryptic request ?
Are you anticipating some rough weather for your mystery 'event' ?
Nuke-wind and a solid swell always adds some interest.
I'm guessing it's next month ?
August can be wild on the West Coast.

So you need to design a kiteboy, hey ?
Ask the poleys,
they know all that techno geek stuff.
hahah

slinghsot make some really good quality ones that can be doubled as beanbags. not sure if you can buy them but you could talk to slingshot australia.

ask a yacht club, they will probably rent their's to you if its for a one off event
