PIN-CRAFT'S 35 GS2 DAVIT
Pin-Craft, a long-established company, entered the
naval sector towards the end of the '50s. Up until
that time, shipyards had been obliged to build
everything in-house, from moulds to furnishings to
onboard accessories. The articles offered by Pin-
Craft (at that time, especially gangplanks, gratings,
tables and armchairs) were appreciated by boat
builders because their availability speeded up
production, enabling builders to concentrate
exclusively on building the actual boats. Today,
after many years, during which Pin-Craft's products
have reached a very high level of quality, the
company remains a leader in the supply of accessories
for yachts and pleasure boats. Given the dimensions
of the latter, the Pin-Craft 35 GS2 telescopic davit
is particularly suitable. It is equipped with
hydraulic rotation, lifting, arm extension and lift-
cable wrapping. So as to blend in with modern
environments, such as the latest yachts, the davit is
made entirely of polished, varnished stainless-steel,
while the carter at the base is of varnished
composite. Suitable for the lifting and moving of
particularly large tenders, the arm is 2.20-meter
long and extendable to 3.20 m. With respect to the
arm's rest position, it can be inclined 55° on
the vertical axis, with a movement upwards of the
tender's anchor point of 2.54 m (with arm totally
extended), a technical solution that facilitates
lifting the tender above the handrails or stainless-
steel guards that are usually installed around upper-
deck sea terraces. The 35 GS2 davit's maximum
capacity is 400 kg with arm extended and it has an
overall weight of 350 kg. To facilitate installation
onboard yachts where the use of 12-V current is not
provided for, the system can also be powered by a 24-V source.
