40/40 Dingy davits, radar arch

Post by Bjcmaine »

I am having an outfit done and am looking into having dingy davits and/or a radar arch installed.
I would appreciate any photos, experience, and advice. :-)

We have an aluminum arch on our 40/40 that incorporates davits, radar, outboard crane, and, soon, solar panels. I think it works well, certainly preferable to just designated davits. Not sure what it took it install, as it was done by a PO, but depending on your location, it might cost $3-5K. I'll take pictures next time I'm on the boat.

Following! Would love to see photos of folks’ setups. I currently have neither which means towing or deflating and stowing dingy. The 40/40 has no decent place to keep on deck!
I really hate to add hardware at the stern because I love the lines of the boat. But would love to see what others have done so I can choose the best option for me when the time comes!

This is exactly what I was imagining. Was this custom or one of the kits available? Do you know the manufacturer and size?

I'm not great with getting pictures uploaded and these we're taken for other purposes, but perhaps they'll give you an idea.
