My little trawler has already got a couple of Derrick cranes for getting the dinghy in and out but it's tempting to get Davits as they allow faster deployment when the crane arch is folded down.
I've not had davits on a boat before. Are they a nuisance? Wondering about rear visibility and also potential for fouling when doing locks.
I could not help noticing these on eBay and being rather tempted by them.

They look rather better than most I have seen.

Interesting bit of trivia is that the word "davit" is pronounced the same as the name "David". Not a lot of people know that. I still pronounce it the other way.
