AccuDock® Completes One of a Kind 10 Lane Floating Dock at Nathan Benderson State Park

A combination of fully framed heavy duty aluminum dock sections (with a freeboard of 16”) and low profile rowing dock sections (with a freeboard of 7”) for the finger docks were used to create this world class 10 lane 425'' start dock. Additional features that help maximize functionality include adjustable aligner planks that pivot vertically to give each individual boat holder optimum positioning for holding each shell and retractable finger docks that effortlessly slide in and out to accommodate varying shell lengths. The decision was made to deck this amazing start dock with PVC AccuDeck™ in order to match the two 16'' x 80'' launch docks AccuDock® had previously manufactured and installed.

Nathan Benderson State Park is already the confirmed host for a number of prestigious rowing competitions such as the 2015 Youth National Championships, which takes place from June 12th through the 14th, and consequently is the first time Florida will be hosting this event, ever! It was also recently announced that, for the first time in over 20 years, the World Rowing Championships, will be hosted in the United States at Nathan Benderson State Park in the Fall of 2017 and in addition, the 2018 Division I, II, and III National Collegiate Rowing Championships have also been scheduled to be hosted at Nathan Benderson Park. Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates SANCA, the non-profit group that manages the park on behalf of Sarasota County, will also be submitting proposals to host both the 2018 World Rowing Masters Championship as well as the World Rowing Coastal Championships.
