Vestdavit designs and produces a wide variety of Painter Booms that complement our Launch & Recovery Systems. The Painter Booms - which can be remotely linked to the LARS via PLC - hold the craft in the optimal position along the mother vessel side. 

Our painter booms are engineered for robust stability and operational ease, enhancing control and alignment when deploying or retrieving smaller boats, especially in challenging sea states or adverse weather. They also provide critical lateral stability by securing vessels alongside the mother ship, minimizing swing and drift during high-risk maneuvers.

Painter booms are indispensable in ensuring the safe and controlled handling of fast rescue craft (FRC), daughter craft, and other small vessels during launch and recovery operations. Vestdavit’s designs focus on ease of use and adaptability, with various configurations to suit different operational needs and vessel types. The booms allow for rapid connection and disconnection, which is essential in fast-paced rescue scenarios. This equipment contributes to overall mission safety and efficiency, as it keeps the vessel securely aligned with the ship, allowing crew members to focus on safe operations rather than managing vessel drift.
