MARINA AND YACHT CLUB
DESIGN
A marina (from Sp. or It. "marina", coast or shore) is a
dock or basin with moorings and supplies for yachts
and small boats. A marina differs from a port in that a
marina does not handle large passenger ships or cargo
from freighters. It provide services geared to the
needs of recreational boating like re-fueling, washing
and repair facilities, stores and restaurants.
In the United Kingdom the word marina is also used
for inland wharves on rivers and canals that are used
exclusively by non-industrial pleasure craft such as
canal narrow boats.
At present ,it is known as a recreational
boating facility on a coastal or inland
waterfront that provides facilities and
services for the wet and/or dry storage of
boats, as well as embarking and
disembarking of boat operators and
passengers.

Mooring buoys, or anchored floating buoys placed in varied bodies
of water, secure recreational boats of many sizes.
All mooring buoys include a heavy object affixed to the sea
bottom, a floating surface buoy and a chain or other device to
link the other two components.
The use of a mooring buoy means a vessel does not risk snagging
underwater cables or other bottom obstructions. Moored vessels
also avoid damaging sensitive underwater habitats, such as coral
reefs, by dragging a heavy anchor on the bottom while anchoring.
Marinas may be located along the banks of rivers
connecting to lakes or seas and may be inland,
sometimes up to as much as 25 kilometers from the
rivers mouth. They are also located on coastal harbors
(natural or man made) or coastal lagoons, either as
stand alone facilities or within a port complex.
It may be owned and operated by a private club,
especially yacht clubs but also as private enterprises
or municipal facilities. Marinas may be standalone
private businesses, components of a resort, or owned
and operated by public entities.
Marina may have refueling, washing and repair
facilities, ship chandlers, stores and restaurants. It
may include ground facilities such as parking lots for
vehicles and boat trailers. Slipways (or boat ramps)
transfer a trailered boat into the water. A marina may
have a boat hoist well (a traveling crane) operated by
service personnel. A marina may provide in- or out-ofwater boat storage.
Fee-based services such as parking, use of
picnic areas, pubs, temporary berthing and clubhouse
for a showers are usually included in long-term rental
agreements.
Visiting yachtsmen usually have the option of
buying each amenity from a fixed schedule of fees;
arrangements can be as wide as a single use, such as a
shower, or several weeks of temporary berthing. The
right to use the facilities is frequently extended at
overnight or period rates to visiting yachtsmen.
Since marinas are often limited by available
space, it may take years on a waiting list to get a
permanent berth (the space alloted to a vessel at
anchor or at a wharf).

A retail dealer in special
supplies or equipment for
ships.
For traditional sailing ships
items that could be found in a
chandler might include: rosin,
turpentine, tar, pitch (resin),
linseed oil, whale oil, tallow,
lard, varnish, twine, rope and
cordage, hemp, oakum, tools
(hatchet, axe, hammer,
chisel, planes, lantern, nail,
spike, boat hook, caulking
iron, hand pump,
marlinspike), brooms, mops,
galley supplies, leather goods,
and paper.
A slipway, boat slip or just a
slip, is a ramp on the shore
by which ships or boats can
be moved to and from the
water. They are used for
building and repairing ships
and boats. They are also
used for launching and
retrieving small boats on
trailers and flying boats on
their undercarriage.
A wharf or quay is a
structure on the shore of
a harbor where
ships/yachts/small sailing
boats may dock to load
and unload cargo or
passengers.
Such a structure includes
one or more berths
(mooring locations), and
may also include
piers, warehouses, or
other facilities necessary
for handling the
ships/yachts/small sailing
boats.
Breakwater. A barrier that protects a harbor or shore from the
full impact of waves.
A wall or
embankment
erected to
prevent the sea
encroaching on an
area of land
Sea Organ is an architectural and experimental
musical object located in Zadar, Croatia. Is a pipe
organ that has a set of 35 musically tuned tubes
located underneath a set of large marble steps
played by the sea waves. The movement of the
sea pushes air through, and depending on the size
and force of the wave, it produces a somewhat
random but harmonic sound. Designed by
architect Nikola Basic in 2005, who recently
received the European Prize for Urban Public
Space for this project.
A yacht club is a sports club specifically related to
sailing and yachting.
Yacht Clubs are mostly located by the sea,
although there are some that have been established at
a lake or riverside locations.
Yacht or sailing clubs have either a marina or a
delimited section of the beach or shoreline
with buoys marking the areas off-limits for swimmers as
well as safe offshore anchorages. On shore they also
include a perimeter reserved for the exclusive use of the
members of the club as well as a clubhouse with
attached bar, caf or restaurant where members
socialize in a pleasant and informal setting.
THE COUNTRY'S PREMIER YACHT CLUB
The Manila Yacht Club, considered as a social and sporting Mecca, is a

Alphaland Bay City is a premium, self-contained, seaside
community with a world-class Marina Club as its
centerpiece.
Masterplanned by globally renowned urban planners,
Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK).
Construction begins 2012
Completion slated for 2015
Alphaland Corporation under the chairmanship
of [Link] V. Ongpin will launch this 32-hectare
project on the Manila Bay reclamation site (between
SM Mall of Asia and Pagcor City) called the Alphaland
Bay City, which will include a hotel in the middle of
a marina, inspired by Dubais world-famous Burj Al
Arab hotel.
It is situated in the fast-growing Macapagal
Avenue area south of Manila, and easily accessible
from Ninoy Aquino Airport, Makati and the South
China Sea,
Alphaland Bay City offers an ideal location for
high-end residential, hotel, office, commercial and
retail developments in a growing economy.
It is a Commercial and Residential complex that
will have state-of-the-art community-based intelligence,
100% telecommuting, unmatched bay views and ecofriendly self sufficiency. It will support all the
requirements to grow businesses, to achieve personal
life-enrichment and to provide family comfort.
The most desirable property in any city in the
world is the bay front, where the view of nature and the
sea is prized above concrete and glass skyline. With 32
hectares along Manila Bay, Alphaland Bay City is not only
the largest single development of its kind in Manila, but
the only one.
A world class marina and yacht club will be
Alphaland Bay Citys centerpiece, surrounded by a
sweeping boardwalk lined by outdoor cafs and
boutiques, overlooked by five-star hotels. Low-rise
commercial buildings will be backed by medium rise
residential buildings then by high-rise skyscrapers.
The vision for Alphaland Bay City is a highly
efficient place to work, play and live that is part of
the inner city but not in it. The entire property will
have wide green parks, all leading to the magnificent
natural vista of the bay.
This Bay City is a bold but calculated move to
reclaim nature from the city. The buildings are arranged to
maximize exposure to the sea, stepping up in height going
inland, affording views for all. The development is filled
with small gardens, tree-lined walkways and wide green
parks that surround the buildings.
It is technologically enabled, with embedded
information and communications systems to conveniently
and economically manage energy, mechanical, sanitary,
communication, security and leisure services.
Concierge services and amenities are available
throughout the community, and can be accessed via
mobile, Web and wireless technology.
Designed as an Arabian version of Monaco,[2] the twenty-one corners twists
through the man made island off the Abu Dhabi coast,[7] passing by the
marina and through the Yas Marina Hotel designed and conceived of by New
York based architects Hani Rashid and Lise Anne Couture, Asymptote
Architecture, and winding its way through sand dunes, with several long
straights and tight corners.
The marina-based development includes a theme park, a water park, as well
as residential areas, hotels and beaches.
The circuit has five grandstand areas (Main Grandstand, West Grandstand,
North Grandstand, South Grandstand and Marina Grandstand (aka Support)
and part of its pit lane exit runs underneath the track. It also houses a team
building behind the pit building, Media Center, Dragster Track, VIP Tower and
Ferrari World Theme Park. Additionally, one of the gravel traps runs
underneath the West grandstand.

*The Yas Island Yacht Clubs streamlined curvilinear form was
conceived as an iconic landmark on the brand new Yas
Marina and F1 Track and makes an emphatic contribution to
the leisure and hospitality facilities already within the
precinct.
*Designed by Omiros One Architecture (O1A) for Aldar
Properties, the Yas Island Yacht Club forms a key part of the
Yas Marina precinct, which recently staged its inaugural
Formula 1 motor racing event. The recently completed
project is the architects first significant work in the Middle
East.
*O1A principal and founder Mr Omiros Emmanouilides
describes the design as a composition of dynamic and fluid
forms that link the buildings to the nautical theme, the
heritage of the location and the new F1 character of Yas
Island. The Yacht Club is designed to excite, inspire and
strengthen the concept that is Yas.
*Incorporating various 5-star club uses including
restaurants, bars, lounges, function rooms, outdoor decks
and 45-metre observation tower, the Yacht Club (Building
1) is the more expressive and prominent of the two.
*Building 2, the retail and administration component,
features a waist-shaped glass internal courtyard and
maintains a quieter profile.
*The Yas Island Yacht Club is distinguished by the sparkling
white exterior shells of the two main buildings against the
backdrop of the Yas Marina and F1 Track.
*The sculpted building forms are reflected in a series of
surrounding water features set into a curvilinear garden
landscape designed to complement the architecture. A
matrix of crystal LED faade lights integrated into the
shells enable their transformation into giant pixelated
viewing screens against the night sky.
*Inside, the grand foyer features a winding stair and curved
glass water wall around the observation lift, the main
volume capped by a glass dome some 15 metres above
floor level.
*A three-level timber veneer and polished metal wall links
the entry with the cigar bar, which commands views to the
Canal and the Marina.
*The upper level VIP Lounge incorporates private dining
facilities, meeting areas and gathering spaces, all
abstracted by a curved ceiling which follows the external
skin of the buildings shell.
*The bow of the Yacht Club opens onto outdoor decks at
all three levels.
