Davit & Tender
Nick Jackson davit · AVON RIB
Nick Jackson Co. 600 lb Low Profile Davit
Cranes the dinghy off the boat and into the water. 600 lb (272 kg) capacity, low-profile so it doesn't clutter the deck or block sightlines, electric winch with brake, and cradles/straps that hold the tender secure underway. Easy for one person to operate.
AVON Rover 3.10 RIB
A 10 ft (3.10 m) rigid-hull inflatable tender with outboard: stable, dry and quick between the boat and shore. Seats 4–5, light enough for the davit, and rated for outboards up to around 15 hp.
Launching the tender
- Check the davit breaker and remote.
- Rig the lifting bridle; release the cradle straps.
- Raise slightly, swing out over the water, lower under control.
- Keep a painter on the dinghy before unhooking.
