ABSTRACT:
A modular environmental mooring system generally of star shaped configuration accommodates a plurality of boats at circumferentially spaced, radially extending positions with respect to a central dock member. The central dock member is of generally annular configuration which includes a plurality of segments, each having a planar outwardly facing endwall and a pair of planar sidewalls lying in spaced apart angularly disposed planes. The segments are arranged with their sidewalls in a contiguous relationship. The boats float alongside a plurality of elongated finger dock members which extend radially outwardly from associated endwalls of the segments. Each segment and each finger dock member includes a plastic foam core member having planar structural sheet members which coterminously underlie and overlie the plastic foam core and are bonded to the plastic foam core. An elastomeric outer coating encapsulates the plastic foam core member and the structural sheet members which results in maximized strength and structural and environmental integrity with minimum weight.
