J/46 Davits

[David Jade]

Does anyone have any photos of installing Kato davits on their J/46? I am specifically looking for where any stern pulpit rail supports are located. It was suggested that we could take SS tubes attached to the pulpit railing and then come down to the deck to strengthen the pulpit/davits. With the two aft lockers there I'm not sure where they would attach and also not get in the way of seating areas. If someone can share photos, that would help us a lot.

We have also considered using dyneema to go from the pulpit davit attachment points down to one of the U-bolts near the stern deck but I'm not sure that the angles work. So if anyone has done that, I would like to know.

thanks,
