Lightweight Davits

Tig welding Stainless to Strengthen Solar Frame and Bimini

While we were at it, might as well add somewhere to hang the dingy!

Most boat owners with biminis are all too aware of the difficulties of mounting solar panels on them. We did our best to keep the weight down on this vessel but was not good enough for 45kts+. The idea here was to add lateral support to the bimini and encapsulate the davits in a frame capable of holding a small inflatable without an enigne.

We are electricians and not a fabrication shop. We take these jobs on from time to time if it directly relates to other work being completed.
