We are still trying to figure out whether to stay with the 10 year old 9.6' Achilles with air floor, or to go with another type of dinghy (porta-bote)
If we stay with the Achilles we will have a few minor repairs.* The real issue is that we don't want to invest a lot in a davit system for a dinghy we may only have for a short time.*
We came across a webpage for pivot or horseshoe davits (Roche Marine).* The distributor in the US says it is fine for an inflatable with air floor.* We can't seem to get an answer to some of our questions such as will the ends poke into the floor as it is lifted up; how to enter and exit the dinghy without the ends poking the floor.*
Does anyone have any experience with the type of davit system?
