A Fishbone style dock is a multi-slip dock that has slips on either side of a central walkway. A 'Fishbone Style' design is typically the most efficient use of space to allow for the maximum number of slips within an area and the most cost efficient from a price perspective. This layout is typically used when a multi-slip dock extends perpendicular to the shoreline. Anchoring for this style of dock is typically achieved with pilings or cables and dead weights.
