202 West Neck Lane Dock 2022

I'm working with Edric Cason to build a dock at 202 Whites Neck Lane.

I want the dock for the primarily for the sailboat pictured below. The sailboat is 26' long so at minimum I'd like the dock twice that (at 8' lengths that would be 56'). The sailboat rides pretty high out of the water, lots of freeboard, so to board we need to be high as well. Looking at the bulkhead coming out at the height of the bulkhead seems optimum for both boarding and keeping the dock out of the waves. Would like to be able to dock boats on both sides.

Geographically the bulkhead, 90' per the county map, is well positions to be a hurricane hole. While I know nothing can stand up to a strong hurricane I'd like to count on this to ride out anything less. The dock should point to the big water to the North presenting the least surface are to where the bigger waves are apt to come from. I'll dock the sailboat on the East side of the dock where the peninsula next to it protects it from the East winds.

Most times I'll pull the boat straight in and back out but will turn the boat if a hurricane is coming so the bow points into the waves. At the end of the dock I'd like to be able to swim so at minimum a ladder. See pictures below for aspect and details. Bulkhead is in 2 stretches with part facing North-Northwest and the bulk pointing North. The old dock is at the intersection on the North-Northwest side.

The bulkhead looks good to me but if you see anything that needs repairing or fortifying let me know.Web References https://johnnywunder.info/mywiki/index.php/202 West Neck Lane Dock 2022

Finally as part of the Knotts Landing Homeowner association I know we're looking at getting our canal maintained so it continues to be navigable. If you're interest ed in that please let me know.
