Davit system for inflatable

[JimSue]

We are recent R29 owners that would appreciate some advice. What is the preferred system for storing a 9ft inflatable on our swim platform? There may be a system available from the factory or a series of options from Weaver but this must be a common situation. We would appreciate your ideas.

Search this site for "Davit" and you will get lots of ideas. Davits have been discussed on many threads.

We use the weaver davits, works great.

Just make sure that you buy the longer and higher davit heads as to clear the back of the swim platform...

The longer, taller deck fittings also get the dinghy up out of the wake reducing splashback and drag. I highly recommend backing plates which are available for the Davis Davit deck fittings.
