A two-dimensional static catenary analysis technique developed for recovery of a MAVA buoy array deployed at a depth of 4515 m. is described. Unique requirements for recovery, including the need to retrieve the anchor releases as well as the buoy, led to the use of an unusual array geometry. Values calculated from the analysis provided an accurate indication of the array geometry and were esesential in the highly successful recovery. (Author).
