The davit system for rescueboats is suitable for both a rescue boat (RB) and one or more life rafts (LR). After the lifeboat is waterborne a so-called ‘’Quick Return Unit’’ retrieves the hook, and the life rafts can be lowered. The safe working load and outreach of the davit is normally determined by the size of the liferaft, so there is a limited range of standard designs which can be adapted to some extent to meet individual needs.
