As part of a multi-year overhaul project, Westerly Yacht Club in Westerly, Rhode Island, has replaced its existing docks with Unifloat concrete floating docks designed and supplied by Bellingham Marine. The new Unifloat concrete walkways with wood fingers will ensure that members and visitors will no longer have to deal with tipping or sinking wood floats.
The marina now has 270 slips for craft from 22′ to 45′. Other amenities include dinghy docks for boaters assigned to moorings, a fuel dock and pumpout station. In addition to the renovated marina, Westerly Yacht Club is home to a 5-star clubhouse with restaurant and bar, showers, heated pool and a playground for younger members of the crew. Guests are welcome.
Westerly and the surrounding communities boast many beautiful beaches, public golf courses and historical sites. Main Street in Westerly is truly reminiscent of the old “Main” streets, featuring quaint hotels and cuisine from tasty Italian to native seafood.

As the focal point of the tropical north in Queensland, Australia, Cairns Cityport marina is an important part of a AUS$ 39,000,000 project to enhance tourist facilities in the area. To upgrade the marina, the port authority chose Bellingham Marine Australia to design, manufacture and install its Unifloat concrete floating dock systems.
The final phase of the project was the addition of 95 slips, ranging in length from 36′ to 120′ to accommodate small cruisers, charters, reef tourist craft and mega and super yachts. The mix consists of 8 different arms and includes 34 slips for craft from 60′ to 100′ and 8 slips for vessels up to 120′. In addition to water, fire and single-phase power utilities, the marina offers phone and data lines, 200-amp electrical outlets and a floating fuel dock.
An arm dedicated for charter tourist vessels is also part of the system. In all, Bellingham installed 191 slips for the project. Cairns is one of Australia’s leading tourist destinations because of its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as the nearby tropical rain forests.
Home to an international airport, Cairns boasts beautiful beaches and a host of 5-star restaurants, shops, galleries, night clubs and two new venues—the Reef Hotel Casino and the Cairns Convention Centre.

In keeping with the high-profile design of the properties in Marina del Rey, the Bellport Marina Harbor Anchorage is continuing reconstruction. Bellingham Marine is installing its Unifloat concrete floating docks as part of phases 6 and 7 of the overall project.
Bellingham was awarded the turn-key design/build contract. Phases 1, 2 and 8 were completed in 2003, and phases 6 and 7 will be done in April 2004. When finished, the renovation will provide 390 slips, averaging 40′ in length. In addition to the ADA gangways, piling and utilities, Bellingham’s designs incorporate the latest technology in single waler/single piece finger construction.
Marina del Rey is one of California’s most complete seaside attractions. It features exclusive ocean-side settings, attractions and recreational amenities, as well as some of the most prestigious boating facilities anywhere. The entire marina reconstruction is expected to be completed by 2006. Bellingham’s Unifloat system will be the standard.

The Bachelor’s Point Homeowners Association now enjoys boating activities at its newly renovated marina in Oxford, Maryland. World-renowned marina constructor Bellingham Marine designed and installed a 22-slip Unifloat concrete floating dock system, which replaced the outdated fixed wood system. Because of their extensive experience in marina construction, Bellingham Marine was chosen by the association to design/build the project.
Bellingham Marine has installed over 14,000,000 square feet of Unifloat systems over the past 40 years. Oxford, on the East shore of Chesapeake Bay near the mouth of the Tred Avon River, was founded in 1694 and is one of Maryland’s oldest communities. It’s home to many of the area’s most historic hotels and bed and breakfasts, as well as 5-star, gourmet restaurants.
Another unique attraction is the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry, believed to be the oldest privately operated ferry in the United States. It makes the trip across the Tred Avon River to Bellevue every 25 minutes.

In the heart of historic Charleston, South Carolina, USA, City Marina has added a new wave attenuator, which serves as a fuel and transient dock. Designed by Bellingham Marine, the new Unifloat® wave attenuator system, called The Mega Dock by the owner, is the premier dock in town.
After removing the existing steel frame wood deck dock system, Bellingham Marine installed a 6 metre x 457 metre combination Unifloat high freeboard megayacht and wave attenuator float system. The Mega Dock allows flexibility for the number and size of side-tie slips. It also protects the marina’s conventional slips from wind-driven waves and boat wake at the marina’s convenient Atlantic Intra-Coastal Waterway location.
City Marina’s attenuator system is composed of individual concrete float modules interconnected with a through-rod and waler system. Bellingham’s wave attenuators are individually designed to site specific conditions relative to wind, wave, wake and transmitted wave criteria. “We looked at a variety of different systems and found that Bellingham offered the best solution,” said Robbie Freeman, owner of City Marina.
The marina offers full facilities, including showers, laundry and cable TV. Filled with the aroma of coffee and cappuccino, City Marina’s Ships’ Store is stocked with everything needed to fill the galley. A shuttle takes visitors to the city to explore the history and charm of Charleston.
