Introductory technical guidance for civil and marine engineers interested in hydraulic design of small boat harbors. Here is what is discussed: 1. DESIGN FACTORS 2. DESIGN STUDIES.

This manual provides guidance for planning, layout, and design of small boat harbor projects. These projects include boat basins, boat ramps, and channels. Small boats are classified as recreational craft, fishing boats, or other small commercial craft with lengths less than 100 ft. The goal of a good design is to provide a safe, efficient, and economical project for small vessels, with consideration to social and environmental factors.
