Batsystem DV32 Folding Davit for Straight Sterns
Description
Folding Davit for Straight Stern
Batsystem’s folding davit for straight stern is designed for safe and easy dinghy handling. It provides strong support when you lift, lower, or carry a tender from the stern. When not in use, the arms fold flat against the transom. This keeps the boat compact and helps save space in a marina, yard, or during storage.
The folding davit for straight stern is also useful when the boat is out of the water. The arms take up little room when folded, which makes winter storage and transport easier. You can also fold the system when you need more clear space on board.
A key part of the folding davit for straight stern design is the way it manages load on the transom. Many fixed davits can create high twisting forces where they are mounted. Batsystem uses counterbalancing lines to change how these forces are shared. This helps reduce torque on the transom and limits the strain placed on the hull.
The mounting fittings are designed to spread pushing forces over a wider area. This helps protect the transom and removes the need for extra internal hull reinforcement at the mounting points. The result is a practical davit system that combines strong support with a compact folding design.
The system has two foldable arms made from 32 mm stainless steel tube. Each arm has a maximum load rating of 100 kg, giving the complete system a combined rated capacity of 200 kg.
However, the maximum combined figure should not be treated as a recommended dinghy weight while the boat is moving. At sea, waves, shocks, and boat movement can create extra dynamic loads. These forces can be much higher than the static weight of the dinghy and outboard.
Batsystem places a strong focus on safety margins. The design allows a single davit arm to support the full weight of the dinghy and outboard on its own. This gives the system an added level of safety when handling a tender on the water.
The complete kit includes two foldable davit arms, two sets of blocks and ropes, and mounting fittings for a straight stern. All structural parts are made from acid-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel. This grade offers strong corrosion resistance and is well suited to demanding marine use.
If you need a compact, strong, and easy-to-store solution, the folding davit for straight stern is a practical choice. It is designed to make dinghy handling easier without adding unnecessary bulk to the stern. The arms fold away when not in use, while the counterbalanced load system helps keep forces on the hull under control.
Whether you are storing the boat for winter, transporting it, or simply need more space in a marina, the folding davit for straight stern gives you a simple and practical solution. With robust stainless steel construction, quick-release pins, counterbalancing lines, and purpose-designed mounting fittings, the system is built to provide reliable dinghy support while keeping the stern neat and compact.
