Tim, the host of *Sailing Into the Mystic*, fabricated and installed a custom dinghy davit system using repurposed aluminum from a discarded solar arch.9:06 To avoid the torque and stress associated with mounting davits directly to the existing solar arch, he designed a hinged system that pivots from the stern.6:11 The build involved welding custom aluminum hinges and brackets, which were tested against store-bought alternatives.12:05 After prototyping the geometry in his backyard, Tim finalized the installation at Baja Naval in Ensenada.6:01 He utilized a block-and-tackle system with triple pulleys on the davit arms and double pulleys on the dinghy to allow for single-handed operation.27:47 The project required sourcing specific stainless steel hardware from multiple local suppliers and adapting the boat’s electrical system to power a welder on the dock.20:45 The total cost for materials, welding supplies, and hardware reached $1,285, significantly undercutting the price of a commercial davit system.31:22
