Pillar buoy

Buoys & beaconsCore

A broad base and tall superstructure identify a pillar buoy.

What it means
A broad floating base with a tall narrow superstructure is the paper-chart form of a pillar buoy.
Why it matters
Pillar form is neutral: interpret the mark from its colour pattern, topmark, light, and charted function.
