There appears to be a WW shortage of large ( approx 1m) inflatable beach balls.
I want to make a back up buoy for the fun races that's compact and portable. The last one I made did the trick but I didn't secure it properly to the sand bag anchor and it got ripped away.

I bought the last ball from Clark rubber but it was a little on the small side. I've tried the toy section of K mart, target and others no luck. What's the world coming to. I did find an inflatable 2.4m Santa...which had me thinking.

If you happen to have an old beach ball one kicking around that you'd like to donate or know where I can buy one please let me know.

What about a fit ball??

You can get them cheap at K-mart.

Des just don't get a blow up doll, otherwise there will be too many people falling in on purpose at the gybe points and spending too much time in the water

Yeah I thought about using my old life size blow up doll, secured in place with some leather strapping. But I thought it might be dangerous having sailors loitering around the gybe mark. Maybe an inflatable pig.

I have enough trouble getting past the mark as it is without the need for further distraction from the comforts of home .
