Anyone have pictures of there Arches, aluminum or stainless for a Cat. And comments on what you like best about yours, what you have on yours and what you wish you had on yours?

wind Gen
davits for the dink,

I’m leaving for Tunisia in a little over a week to pick up my boat and hope to find someone there or in Italy who can build one for me.

I have what may be the worlds ugliest, but very functional catamaran arch with all the junk you list plus a swim platform, GPS antenna, VHF antenna for SkyMate, flag, outboard stowage board, mainsheet traveler, and swim latter. It was installed by a previous owner (I added the traveler and davits). I would have thought that it could have been designed with some style but no . . . You can see a photo of it with our new yellow catamaran dink hanging from davits in my photo gallery on this forum. (or try this link http://www.cruisersforum.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=3282&catid=member&imageuser=223 )

I would really miss its functionality if I didn’t have it but I think with a little imagination it could be curved and not look like an industrial quality erector set.

Ram, here is a link to the manufactures site with pictures or our arch. Victory Catamarans With Arch Davit. Of the 4 pictures only the left most picture is not our boat.

These were taken before we bought the boat and renamed her. There are now 4 solar panels and a wind generator installed. Sorry I have nothing more current.

Wow! Really, I swear I saw that same scaffolding in the paint department at Home Depot!

I can understand your wonder at the lack of styling, but I can see how, at the same time, you would find it very functional.
