Recently, the marine science community has become interested in a transatlantic data scan by a moving or sailing buoy capable of making good a prescribed course within reasonable tolerances and also capable of acquiring and transmitting significant data on a short time interval. This report examines the problems involved and proposes the design of an unmanned sailing vessel, sensors and transmitters capable of accomplishing these tasks.
