A method comprising scanning at least one portion a hull of a vessel positioned below a waterline while the vessel is floating in water. The method further comprises generating multi-dimensional scans of the at least one portion of the hull based on data acquired during the scanning, generating a 3-dimensional (3D) model of the at least one portion of the hull, analyzing the 3D model to identify one or more features of the hull of the vessel below the waterline, generating docking information for drydocking the vessel based on the one or more features of the hull, and identifying, based on the generated docking information, a docking plan for supporting the vessel when the vessel is supported out of the water. The method further comprises outputting instructions to dry dock the vessel.

A dry dock for building and/or dismantling a naval structure includes a substantially horizontal floor located below a predetermined top level, dock side walls extending from the floor to the top level, and a closable access provided in a side wall for moving a naval structure into the dry dock. At least two of the side walls are partly slanted and include a water-impervious layer. The invention also provides a method for constructing the dry dock.

Dry dock for building and/or dismantling navel structures Dry dock for building and/or dismantling a navel structure, including a substantially horizontal floor (1) that is located below a predetermined top level, dock side walls (3, 4, 5) extending from the floor to the top level, a closable access (9) being provided in a said side wall for moving a navel structure into the dock, wherein at least two of the side walls are at least partly slanted, having a gentle slope and a water-impervious layer. The invention also relates to a method for constructing the dry dock.

A home structure can have an integrated nautical garage and boat slip. The boat slip can be defined entirely under the home such that the boat can be located entirely under the home within the residential setback envelope for the home. The nautical garage can include a lift mechanism for lifting the boat out of the water. The lift mechanism can have a no profile deck that aligns substantially flush with the floor of the nautical garage when the boat is fully raised. The nautical garage can have a roll down shutter and/or door that can be closed to close off an opening of the nautical garage (e.g., once the boat has been navigated into the nautical garage). The boat slip can optionally be defined by a U-shaped culvert.
