I want to build a floating dock about 7 feet by 14 feet and locate it
beside a seawall fronting a body of water with a fetch of up to eight
miles. It frequently gets quite rough, which the bulkhead makes worse.

How about going the other way, a lightweight platform, perhaps with a
ladder or ramp, that can normally be flipped up away from the water,
down for use?
