I am trying to locate any owners utilizing the Kato or St. Croix type dinghy davits on the stern side of the swim platform. KatoMarine is near me and has provided some photos of Ranger Tugs with their system, but I would like to talk with the owners as part of my due diligence. One photo is of a blue R27, the second is a green R31 (SeaPiper in MA)


Does anyone recognize either of these vessels? Any ideas on how to find and contact the owners?
We currently utilize the dinghy caddy system and like how easily it can be deployed and retrieved singlehandedly. (http://www.dinghycaddy.com)
But one thing I do not like is that it encumbers my access to the propane locker and we cannot use the platform for fishing when the dinghy is in the stowed position. With this said, I am looking at the Kato Island Davit. (http://www.katomarine.com/powerdavits-island.htm) It would place the dinghy completely on the outside of the platform rail, thus giving me full access to the locker and platform while the dinghy is stowed.
Any help identifying either of these vessels or any other owner utilizing this setup is greatly appreciated!
