ABSTRACT:
A floating dock for a small vessel has a generally flat buoyant member whose front end is narrower than its rear end. A large indentation extends into the rear end of the buoyant member for receiving the nose of the vessel. When two or more of the buoyant members are attached together with the wider end facing outward, they combine to form a larger floating dock in the shape of a polygon. In one form, the buoyant member is formed of three inflatable rings within an A-shaped or a triangular envelope. There is a space between two of the rings. The envelope has a cut-out portion above the space between the spaced-apart rings to create an indentation to receive the nose of the vessel.
