Still weighs less than a flybridge
For those that love to judge boats from just a picture....have at it...
I missed something earlier .. It look somewhat overloaded.
OB on the roof? Don't see it. You must have a manifest.
Lower away Donna, but hauling them back up can be a chore.
Quite the leverage arm hoisting that dingy out....wish I saw it in operation.
Best I can, I see the crane tube just attached to the edge of the FB deck. Is that good enough to lift the dinghy, cantilevered out on the jib? Must be a strong FB deck, or is there attachment support I can`t see?
Interested as I`ve a St Croix crane to fit to my FB, and concerned about adequate support.

Thanks Al, I can see the tube disappearing behind the cover, rather than terminating in mid air. I prefer avoiding tube support to the lower deck for the St Croix to go on the FB, lifting a 30kg inflatable.

See avatar and photo. I launched 11' inflatable and reached down 8 hp o/b off sundeck railing. Hauled em back up by hand too. Don't need no mechanical lifts!
Yep. nothing better than a pinched nerve or worse out on a cruise.
Several days of misery with possibly no one else to get the boat to a safe harbor that has adequate medical.
I am sure there are strong, tough people cruising out there....so am (was) I.
Like is always said on TF whether true or not....is it worth the gamble?
Not for me anymore....I have learned the superman syndrome crashes everyone sooner or later....for me...better off not on a cruise.
For $300 I devised my solution.....ingenuity beats muscle most every time.
