Davits on a tartan 40

[AliB]

Does anyone have any knowledge regarding the viability of installing dinghy davits on a T40 which also has a center mounted hydrovane? I am planning on crossing the Atlantic and would like to have a hard bottom tender rather a roll up dinghy on my foredeck.
Thank you in advance for your input.

Alib,

Several years ago, I install Kato davits on my Sabre 426, and have been pleased with them. I have an inflatable dinghy, and can easily haul it up, even with the outboard still on the dinghy.

Alib,

Several years ago, I installed Kato davits on the back of my Sabre 426, and I am pleased with them. I can easily haul up my inflatable dingy, with outboard still on its transom. The dinghy and outboard are high enough out of the water as not to create issues.

Hope this helps,

How did that fit with your hydrovane?
