Description
Polyform A Series
Inflatable marine floats/buoys made by Polyform, renowned for durable construction and reliability on oceans, rivers, and lakes. Originally introduced in the 1950s, the A Series established the standard for soft vinyl buoys and remains one of the most widely used lines in fishing, boating, and commercial marine work.
Key Features
-
Inflatable soft vinyl construction: Seamlessly molded with uniform wall thickness for strength and durability.
-
Reinforced ropehold: The signature rib-reinforced ropehold (often in the classic blue style) is injection-molded for secure attachment of lines.
-
Vinyl valve system: Polyform’s unique, corrosion-free valve makes inflation and deflation easy and reliable.
-
Dual valves on larger sizes: Bigger A Series models (e.g., A-5, A-6, A-7) feature dual inflation/deflation valves for faster setup and take-down.
-
High visibility colours: Available in multiple bright colours (red, white, yellow, orange, etc.) for visibility and safety.
-
Versatility: Used as marker buoys, anchor floats, fenders for rafting/steps, or general purpose marine floats.
Size Range & Uses
The A Series comes in multiple sizes — from small floats like the A-0 suitable for light marking, up to large buoys like A-4 and A-5 for heavy-duty mooring and large vessels. Recommended applications scale with size: smaller models for dinghies and traps, medium sizes for recreational boats, and larger sizes for commercial or offshore use.
