ABSTRACT:
An improved floating dock/marina system having a monocoque-type frame structure. The embodiments disclosed include a dock structure defined by a main walkway section and a plurality of extended finger sections which are formed having longitudinal side-beam members, known as walers, that are interconnected by a plurality of spaced, transverse, beam members and a longitudinal center-beam structure. Various arrangements are provided for the beam structure, the transverse beam members and/or the longitudinal center-beam structure being formed having a height greater than the height of the waler side-beam members, whereby a crowning arrangement is defined. A decking is employed which comprises sheets of plywood which are attached to the framework. The crowning arrangement creates a central raised portion in the deck, the opposite sides of the deck being sloped downwardly and outwardly. The bottom of the frame structure is closed by a wall to which a float device is mounted, thereby establishing the monocoque-type construction of the deck structure.
