In
some countries you pay by the berth length, not the boat length. In New Zealand, for example, many
marinas will have 10, 12, 14 or 16 meter berths. If your boat was (for example) 14.5
meters (45.9 feet) you will be charged for a 16 meter berth. A good argument to keep a boat less than
14 meters.

Marine seem to be building a lot of marinas all over the world. You might want to contact them and see
what their standard sizes are…..

I
think width is something you can always work with the marina - you can be at
the end slip for example.
Be
careful that most marina will take their yard tape and measure your boat to the
nearest feet and charge you accordingly
A
50 ft long lw hull will cost you a lot for a slip in most places but on a
mooring field is a different story so it might be a good idea to build a good
dinghy (make it a catamaran) and plan to go back and forth - will be a lot
cheaper at the end

2 cents

Subject: [harryproa] How wide are

Hi,
I continue to play around
with my ideas for a 50' liveaboard, ocean crossing harryproa. I have a layout
where it may be feasable to collapse the boat to a 16' beam. I realize that I
don't actually know if that helps. Is anyone familiar enough with monohull slip
dimensions to know if a resonable percentage of 50' long slips can accomodate a
16' beam?
I am primarily interested in
marinas along the east coast of the US, but would also like to know elsewhere
in the world.
For those in the world with a
rational measurement system, I believe I am talking about 15m length and 5m
beam (roughly).
With my design, it is not
something you would do for a transient slip, but if you need to leave the boat
for a month, or liveaboard in a marina, it might be helpful.
Thanks,
