Hi,

I have never seen a davit launched raft on a yacht.

The rafts can be launched from above 4.5m, it's the embarkation that has to be at this or below.

the change in raft configuration came up after it was discovered that the 25 and 35 man rafts would not fit where shown on the contract GA, the 10 man one and 2 x 20 man ones was a convenient way to meet the regs even if it seems to fly in the face of the intention of the regs.

How will the Passenger to crew ratio be made up on your project Thorwald?
