Norwind Gale

These advanced and highly specialized single-point davit systems represent a significant step forward in heavy-duty maritime handling technology. Engineered to manage workboats weighing up to 15 tons, they are purpose-built to meet the operational demands of vessels requiring robust and reliable launch-and-recovery capabilities. What sets these systems apart is their tailored compatibility with catamaran-style boats, which often pose unique handling challenges due to their wide beam and distinctive hull configuration. By integrating features specifically designed to stabilize and secure catamarans during launch and recovery, the davit systems ensure safe operations even in rough sea states, reducing the risk of damage to both the boat and the crew.

Constructed with reinforced materials and designed for strength, these davits are built to withstand the intense wear and tear of demanding maritime environments. Their heavy-duty architecture does not compromise on efficiency—these systems require minimal maintenance, translating into reduced downtime and increased operational readiness. Beyond simply meeting industry standards, they deliver enhanced durability and performance consistency, making them an ideal solution for navies, offshore vessels, and commercial operators seeking reliable handling of large and complex boat types. This level of innovation reinforces Vestdavit’s position as a leader in delivering custom-engineered launch-and-recovery solutions tailored to the evolving needs of modern maritime operations.
