Covered most of our miles like this - complete with hanging off the transom. For longer passages on bumpy seas we had two of the simple 'helicopter' rachet straps to go around the dink and each davit. Cranked up the dinghy definately would not move. JOHN Go see our blog at | | | 21-11-2010, 05:09 | | Boat: PDQ Altair, 32/34 | , I am trying to solve the issue of how to secure the dinghy hanging on the davits. I have got three holding the dinghy to the arch and solid bar holding the stern and the painter holding the bow in position. But still so, the dinghy moves a lot. What is the best way to secure it, in sea-movement and in case of waves filling the dinghy? I have seen other cats having eyes attached to the catamaran's and a ratchet strapping the dinghy in position.

On any offshore or lengthier the dinghy comes apart and is nested on the foredeck but we do use the davits on shorter passages. We have padded the davits to protect the dinghy, which is then hauled up very tight. The bow and stern painters then go round on the davit arms and over the dinghy and get hauled underneath her and tied off on the pushpit. (This is actually the fiddliest bit.) We also have a big (one big tear drop) and this travels off the pushpit hauled tight under the dinghy and securely tied on. There is also a small around the neck of our to protect it from the dinghy. This all sounds a bit fiddly but we are now v quick at getting it sorted. Eitehr can do it alone but its much easier with two. | | | Thread Tools | | Rate This Thread | : | Posting Rules | post new threads post replies post attachments edit your posts is are code is are are are | Similar Threads | Thread | Thread Starter | Forum | Replies | Last Post | Mahe 36: | IrieCat | Fountaine Pajot | 100 | 20-10-2016 16:55 | | keepondancin | Auxiliary Equipment & Dinghy | 1 | 30-09-2010 05:49 | | dpollitt | General Sailing Forum | 0 | 30-10-2008 18:25 | | Jack Long | Construction, Maintenance & Refit | 23 | 18-08-2008 07:20 | | ssullivan | General Sailing Forum | 4 | 30-01-2006 06:57 | Privacy Guaranteed - your email is never shared with anyone, opt out any time. | | | | | |
