Nautical Structures Offers New, Lightweight 1000-Pound Davit

Nautical Structures, with a factory in Largo, Florida and a worldwide network of sales and authorized service facilities, last week announced a new lightweight hydraulic davit, the TECH-1000-2.  This davit can handle a working load up to 1,000 pounds in all boom positions.  According to the company, the davit weighs in at just 165 pounds, the all-aluminum TECH-1000-2 is 35 percent lighter and stronger than comparable davit designs and priced at just under $US10,000, complete with  18″ mounting standpipe and hydraulic power unit.  ”This is a true value design for small to mid-sized yachts that gives yacht dealers and owners a real cost-benefit advantage,” said Bob Blue, Nautical Structures sales manager.

The TECH-1000-2 features a fully faired and painted finish to match the paint color of the yacht.  The company uses two coats of Awlgrip to match boat color.  Hydraulic slew (optional), boom-luff and linear winch provide smooth and quiet performance.  The boom stows in an eight-foot or nine-foot design and reaches full boom-length potential under full rated load capacity.  The optional hydraulic motor for slewing the davit can be ordered for 180 or 360 degrees of travel.  The relatively modest standpipe requirement for this davit — 18 inches — means a boat owner should have a little more flexibility with mounting locations.

Founded in 1986, Nautical Structures manufactures more than 40 models of high-performance davits and yacht cranes for the world luxury yacht market, ranging in capacity from 800 to over 25,000 pounds.
