What Id like is davits that could be removable .
Let say when sailing for a few days or longer deflate the inflatable and remove the davits and refit when your at anchor and just day sailing and use for short day sails
+1. Something like these babies perhaps?

It looks like a process of winning Tattslotto and buying Jeanneau 54 . Then removing the davits and fitting them to my old boat
Very nice designed Davits. Ill have to have a few sleeps on that design
My inflatable weight in around 30 KG
www.imtra.com/092a922a-f319-4362-9dc2-ac17ba595566/besenzoni-davits-cranes-detail.htm They lift 60 KG and are made out of aluminum
That was the easy part .I do have some 50 mm O.D tube here in stainless and could use the automated bender at work.
If I made some thing similar id just fit permanent inserts similar design as a fishing rod holder with lower bracing and when removed put the davits in the forward cabin
would not even make them telescopic . Bit of thought they might work out ok with some strengthening up at the stern for surport
Local flanges
51 I.D $35 a piece probably have to bush a larger stainless tube down to except where the davit slides in . Ill have a look around next week
To do that I think Id have to make a couple of bulk heads inside the stern to strengthen it all and move the mounts in board a little
about where the small pulley is against the side combing that would give full depth.
Ill sleep on that for a while
A project for next year after shes sailing but Ill start collecting and bending
