The rigid stinger is in two curved, hinged parts, but the articulated type is made up of four or five sections, perhaps 100 metres long overall. Buoyancy controls can regulate the depth of the stinger to optimize the bending forces on the completed pipe on its way to the sea floor. A stinger may have to support some 300 to 400 metres of pipe. 3, record 1, English, - stinger
