Hinges for a foldable radar arch
I moved Mr. Blu from Croatia to the Netherlands just before Covid-19 struck.
In the Netherlands are many canals with a lot of bridges so it would be nice if I can reduce the air draft as much as possible. That saves time and it also extends the cruising area. Furthermore I will have more choice in boathouses.
Therefor I would like to make the radar arch of my Beneteau ST 52 foldable. Reducing the air draft from 6.40m/20'12" to 4.48 m/14'8".
I have seen one ST 52 on the internet which had a foldable arch, but I couldnot find any further information. The most important of course are the hinges but I am also interested in electrical systems to operate it.
Any information in this matter will be welcome.
