I own a 38' slip with a very strict 2' overhang limit. I am looking at a 2008 Mainship 34. LOA appears to be 40' pulpit to swim step). It has Olsson Transom electric stainless steel davits which can be retracted a bit to stay within the 40' limit but only without the dinghy.
I love the davits but have no place for the dinghy. I am trying to find a davit system that slides fore and aft on the swim step. We want full access to the swim step when cruising but we could slide the davit attachment point forward up against the transom when clearance is needed. When we want to launch the dinghy we would slide the attachment point aft to the aft edge of the swim step.
Hope that makes sense.
