    Model Boat Launching Pier

    Hi all,
    I am going to be moving soon into a new section of a planned community. This community has, among many other facilities, a lake which is being constucted along with the community. The section of the lake which is closest to my new home is not yet finished and I am going to suggest that they include a model boat launching pier when they complete it. I'm talking about the type that reminds me of a baseball dugout. It is made of cement and dug down two to four feet below the level of the water so you can go down in it and launch your boat (or submarine) without having to lean over and strain you back. I am looking for pictures, drawings and/or plans for this type of facility to include in my proposal so that people can understand what I'm talking about. They are building all sorts of other facilities around this lake so I think I might have a shot if I can explain it well enough. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find materials to help me with my proposal?

    Thanks,
    Mark

      Hi Mark,

      Sounds like you are

      Hi Mark,

      Sounds like you are looking for a setup like they have in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The Mare Island SubRon has an event there each year in the flycasting ponds and there is an in-ground area where you can lean you boat over the side and set it into the water.

      Their next regatta will be this fall, September 15th & 16th, San Francisco Casting Club ponds, Golden Gate Park.

      We used to have pictures from the events held there posted in the photo gallery but I don't see any active links. I'll find one of my own of the launch area and post it later.
      Warm regards,

      Paul Crozier

          I shot these photos in '99 so I don't have hi-resolution digital images, but I can scan the prints and email them to you if you need them.
