Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9700807A1] Docking apparatus (10) including a pair of spaced apart primary buoyancy bodies (11) and cradle assemblies (12) extending between the bodies (11), the primary buoyancy bodies (11) being capable of being filled with water and thus submerged to enable a water craft to be positioned over the cradle assemblies (12) and lifted clear of the water when water is expelled from the bodies (11). The cradles (12) include flexible sheets (13) of a V-shape configuration which adjust to the shape of a water craft seating thereon to enable the docking apparatus (11) to be used with a range of hulls of different form.
