Solution :The Jetty experience and the alternative river space.

This post starts with  visual of what its like to use the jetty, and what it is like presently.



The second sketch sheet is an exploration of the ergonomics that different shapes have to offer. This results in a surprisingly simple solution, which then also works better for rowers while docking- which is to have a 90 degree change in the direction of the boat.  The solution is to have a long jetty that is perpendicular to the river length, so the only thing that decides the number of boats that can be docked on it is its length. These sketches also explore another possibility- that a section of the jetty is motor able. This can be detached and run with an engine, so that it can be taken to a different point on the river from where a race could be starting.



The third sketch is an alternative river space that I've thought out.This is a layout of the solution to the jetty and the space around it.  The sketch of the motorized section will come in a later post.   This incorporates the ergonomics and alignment of the jetty. I still have to work on the material to be used.
