AccuDock®
completes one of a kind 10 lane floating dock at Nathan Benderson State Park
Sarasota, FL – June 12, 2015- Nathan Benderson State Park, a 600 acre multi-use sporting venue that was recently named
Florida's "Venue of the Year" by the Florida Sports Foundation, is located right off the Gulf of Mexico amongst some of
the most pristine and picturesque beaches in the world. Benderson Park is the perfect place for a wide range of sporting
events and community activities such as paddle boarding, dragon boat races, canoe and kayak races, as well as triathlon
and cross country events. However the focal point of the park is its 500 acre lake and world class rowing facility complete
with a 2000 meter, fully FISA compliant, rowing course. Nathan Benderson State Park is already the confirmed host for a
number of prestigious rowing competitions such as the 2015 Youth National Championships, which take place this
coming weekend from June 12th through the 14th, and consequently is the first time Florida will be hosting this event,
ever! Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates (SANCA) President, Paul Blackketter, comments on this being the first
time the U.S. Rowing National Youth Championships being held in Florida and said “It just goes to show you that this is a
true world class course, that’s only going to bring more and more events here.” It was also recently announced that, for
the first time in over 20 years, the World Rowing Championships, will be hosted in the United States at Nathan Benderson
State Park in the Fall of 2017. The 2018 Division I, II, and III National Collegiate Rowing Championships have also been
scheduled to be hosted at Benderson Park. SANCA, the non-profit company that manages the park on behalf of Sarasota
County, will also be submitting proposals to host both the 2018 World Rowing Masters Championship as well as the
World Rowing Coastal Championships.

Part of what makes Nathan Benderson State Park one of the world’s most premier rowing and sculling destinations is the
2000 meter course complete with the world’s only 10 lane start dock. AccuDock®, an international American owed and
based floating dock manufacturer located in Pompano Beach FL that specializes in low profile rowing docks,
manufactured this one of a kind floating dock to specifically meet the requirements of the many nationally syndicated
rowing competitions that would be held at Benderson Park in the future.

2. The decision was made to deck this amazing start dock with PVC AccuDeck™ in order to match the two 16’ x 80’ launch
docks AccuDock® had previously manufactured and installed. A combination of fully framed heavy duty aluminum
dock sections (with a freeboard of 16”) and low profile rowing dock sections (with a freeboard of 7”) for the finger docks
were used to create this one of a kind 10 lane 425’ start dock. Additional features that help to maximize the functionality
of the start dock include adjustable aligner planks that pivot vertically to give each individual boat holder optimum
positioning for holding each shell and retractable finger docks that effortlessly slide in and out to accommodate varying
shell lengths.
