Tilting dry dock for small watercraft

A dry dock upon which a small watercraft may be docked in a dry condition and from which a boater may access from an associated structure for launching the watercraft without entering the water, said dry dock comprising:

• a floating dock having a forward end and a rear entry end;
• a motion mechanism connecting said floating dock to said associated structure, said motion mechanism including a first mechanical pivot associated with said floating dock about which said floating dock tilts in a seesaw motion during docking and a second mechanism pivot associated with said associated structure;
• said floating dock having an entry position in the water in which said floating dock is tilted rearwardly about said first pivot, and said rear entry end of said floating dock has a displaced position in the water in said entry position for receiving a bow section of said watercraft to initiate docking;
• and
• said floating dock having a docked position in which said watercraft is moved forward on said floating dock past said pivot and said watercraft is fully docked upon said floating dock, and said floating dock being tilted forwardly about said pivot from said entry position to said docked position so that said rear entry end is raised relative to said displaced position in the water.

A dry dock upon which a small watercraft may be docked in a dry condition and from which a boater may access from an associated pier for launching the watercraft without entering the water, said dry dock comprising:

• a floating dock having a forward end and a rear end;
• a motion mechanism connecting said floating dock to said pier;
• said motion mechanism includes a mechanical pivot carried by said floating dock by which said floating dock is connected to the associated pier;
• and said floating dock pivots about said pivot during docking and launching of said watercraft in a seesaw motion;
• a buoyant fulcrum included underneath said floating dock which provides buoyancy to said floating dock and assists the seesaw motion of said floating dock during docking of said watercraft as said watercraft moves onto said dock and over said buoyant fulcrum.
