Having canoed and still kayaking, this course
was interesting and brought to light items
that are not always thought of when launching.

As a coastal engineer I have designed many boat launch facilities. More and more they also included NMB launches. The course provided excellent practical knowledge.

I recently evaluated a site for Kayak launch . This course would have helped in that effort, As the article alludes to you have to take into consideration the desires of the uses.

Interesting topic is well organized with pictures and reasonably clear descriptions. I think the material for question 23 could have been described more clearly. You are dealing with different types of structures. Identify them more specifically. I appreciated the attention to ADA issues.

Was really surprised by how much I did not know. Started canoeing with my family when I was a teenager, mostly fishing on the Allegheny River.
Also refurbished a Public (motor) boat site as a Civil Engineer, replacing failing bulkhead.
So although I thought I had a pretty good background, learned one heck of a lot regarding NMB launching sites!
Good indepth material especially for design engineers. (And oh yeah have I ever seen a lot of BAD designs over the years. Loved your suggestion that bad designs should include the Designers name! Laughed out loud at that suggestion!!)

Interesting subject. A facility I've never had to design before. Plenty of good information available here that can be a great source for designing such a facility. Well presented.
