If a few of the fingers were removed, so that the dock configuration became more like the Meredith docks, accessability would improve. Leave some of the docking the way it is today and restrict that docking to boats with a beam of 8' 6" or less and force the more beamy boats to the larger dock openings made by removing the fingers.

This is a "low hanging fruit" idea, something inexpensive and easy to do that would bring some fairly quick results.

Honestly, given some of the rest of the activity around the Weirs, I'm not super excited about tying up there and leaving my boat unattended. Those docks need to be completely rebuilt though if they want to draw any activity by boat.
