The second float portion (4) includes a plug member (8) and a socket member (10) that can be not only releasably interconnected but also joined to a member on at least one of the two fastening systems of the first float portion (2). The plug (8) and socket (10) members of the fastening system on the second float portion (4) are attached to two respective ends thereof.
