Marina and Small Craft Harbours
This is an excellent global overview of everything concerned with modern marina development. It covers subjects from a socio-economics of marina users, historical development of recreational boats and harbours to financial data on building and running a modern marina. Attention is paid to regulatory requirement and environmental considerations including mitigation of wave impact, fuel and sewage facilities to the merits of different break-wave and mooring structures. Modern trends such as the increasing length of boats to dry storage facilities are covered to allow planning for the lifetime of marinas built today. The manual is written for marine designers and operators but is so well illustrated that even technical data can be clearly understood by a lay person. The authors' 30+ years' experience in engineering design and teaching is put to excellent use in this quite comprehensive book. Well worth the money!
