I think the yacht is 42-50metres.

How do I reinforce my dock pilings with dolphins?

Mr wondering asked:


I have a boat dock. about 14 X 26. It’s against my seawall, in a tidal, hurricane prone area of FLA> I have piles on the outside. Two of which are very tall. I have a slide mooring system that allows my 42 ft powercat yacht to float up and down with tides. I am concerned that the piles could give way from the mud floor and riip the whole thing away in a good storm. Tidal surge wont be a problem as I have the ability to go about 10-15 ft above normal. I think I need to add dolphins to the existing piles. I see them installed around my neighborhood. Kinda like three shorter piles in a triangle, or pyramid shape attached to the main pile. I think it can be done with water pressure? Any thoughts? Thanx.
marine engineers are expensive. Lots of people do this themselves.
Boat is 42 ft long, and 20 ft wide. A trailer ride out of state would be 15,000 round trip.

Today we decorated our carver yacht for the boat parade at grand lake, is anyone else going?

We don’t have a theme, but we have lights! We have a full kitchen so we are making all kinds of food, and drink!

Roberta H asked:


I am asking this because I plan to attend a wedding in San Francisco abroad the Commodore Enents Yacht “Celebrations” and we board at Pier 40. I understand the Giants’ Statium is near Pier 40, and I understand there is a Giants/Dodgers game Aug 19th–same day of wedding. We have been advised not to drive to Pier 40 because of the game. Any idea what a taxi fare would be from the airport?
