Hi Don,
At NYC we have a mix of clearance between fingers. The minimum looks
to be 120% and max around 200%, median is perhaps predictably, around 150%.
150% is the amount in my area of moorage and I find it to be
adequate, even a little generous, for a fin keeler.
When we did our yacht club expansion in 1996 we didn't go with a
"standard, per se" we just tried to get as many berths as possible.
The challenge was old to new and meant not much lined up straight, so
corner moorage is tight and then we have a few rather large basins.
Cheers, Russ

How much turning space should a boat have to be able to safely exit
and enter a slip, if the slip is at right angles to the channel?
Presently our club is wrestling with the issue of the length of boat
that should be in the slip given the amount of room available to
back out, then straighten out and go down the channel between the docks.
The Parks Canada's guideline for their docking design is that there
must be 175% of the boat length to allow a skipper to exit and enter a slip.
We all know that C&Cs need less than most boats. Any idea what the
specs are for C&C's?
I'd appreciate hearing if there are any guidelines that your club
uses for all keelboats.
Cheers
Don
