Twenty years have passed since the release of the highly popular 3ed on design guidance for Small Craft Harbors. This is a topic of high interest since it is an aspect of port and coastal engineering not typically addressed in other Port curricula.

The instruction will address major changes and additions to the previous edition including expanded guidance on trends is site layout, breakwaters, attenuators and berthing tranquility, yacht characteristics and maneuverability, mooring design, advances in dry storage, current electrical system design and code changes, and environmental and economic feasibility.

The course will update the practitioner of the changes since the last edition which mark a significant departure from previous guidance. The course is also an excellent introduction to the unique various aspects of small craft harbor design.
