Taylor Made 24" Life Ring Buoy White | 567
Taylor Made 24" Life Ring Buoy White | 567 — Product description
The Taylor Made 24-inch life ring buoy is the throwable you want mounted where the crew can grab it in a hurry. White polyethylene shell, a foam core that keeps 16.5 pounds afloat in sea water, and a black grab line already rigged to the ring.
Every boat needs a throwable within arm's reach, and the Taylor Made 24-inch ring buoy is the classic answer. It's the round white ring you've seen hanging on transoms and cabin bulkheads for decades, and it earns that spot. Toss it to someone in the water and they've got something to hold onto until you can bring the boat around.
The build is straightforward and that's the point. A unicellular polyurethane foam core does the flotation work, wrapped in a tough polyethylene shell that shrugs off sun, salt, and the occasional scrape against the rail. That core gives you 16.5 pounds of buoyancy in sea water, which is plenty to keep an adult's head up while you circle back.
The black grab line runs all the way around the ring and it's held on by sewn-in beckets, so it won't slide out of position or bunch up on one side when someone's pulling hard on it. That's a small detail that matters when it counts. A grab line that's flopping loose is a grab line that's hard to catch.
At 24 inches across, this is the larger of the common ring sizes. It's easier to throw accurately, easier to spot in the water, and easier for a person to get an arm through. Mount it in a horseshoe bracket or a ring buoy holder on an open boat, sailboat, or cruiser where you've got the bulkhead space. Smaller center consoles sometimes go with the 20-inch, but if you've got the room, the bigger ring is the one you want.
One honest note. A ring buoy is a throwable rescue device, not a wearable life jacket. It's there to reach someone who's gone over, not to replace the PFDs your crew wears. Keep it clean, keep the line free, and keep it somewhere you can grab it without thinking.

Frequently asked questions
What size is this ring buoy?
It's 24 inches in diameter, the larger of the two common ring sizes. The bigger ring is easier to throw on target and easier for someone in the water to get an arm through.
How much will it hold up?
The foam core gives you 16.5 pounds of buoyancy in sea water. That's enough to keep an adult's head above the surface while you bring the boat around.
What is the grab line made of and how is it attached?
It's a black polypropylene line that runs the full way around the ring. Sewn-in beckets hold it in position so it won't slide to one side or bunch up when someone pulls on it.
Is this a life jacket?
No. It's a throwable rescue device, meant to be tossed to someone who has gone in the water. It doesn't replace the wearable PFDs your crew should have on board.
What material is the ring itself?
The shell is white polyethylene over a unicellular polyurethane foam core. The polyethylene shrugs off UV, salt spray, and the scrapes that come from living on a rail.
How do I mount it?
It fits standard horseshoe brackets and ring buoy holders. Pick a spot on a bulkhead or transom where the crew can reach it fast and the grab line hangs free.
