Launching and recovering the dinghy is made simple with this 316 s.s. framed 12v dc electric winch powered platform.  Throw off the tie downs, hit the wireless remote key and the platform lowers smoothly below the surface, until the dinghy, with passengers aboard,  floats free. Designed by Multihull Haulouts P/L to compliment our Multihaven 37  catamarans.

Recovery with passengers remaining aboard is effortless,including a dinghy load of stores, water, fuel etc. The smallest winch, set up provides 1.2 Tonne lift.  Of course leave the dinghy secured by painter and you have a dive/swim platform,  submergable to a convenient depth. Whilst cascading rear steps became fashionable for Bridgedeck catamarans, in practical use, embarking from a dinghy is difficult and the steps constantly receive minor damaging impacts. The solution for our 2007 model Multihaven 37 allows  a return to a more seakindly and safer stern design (canoe sterns), yet with steps accessable from inboard, outboard, or from aft, complimented by our dinghy with motor, lift system. These infinitely variable height dinghy landing/submergable swimming platforms, makes for truly relaxed, effortless dinghy recovery, cruising.

Miss B Haven with the Mk 2 Dinghy elevator variant has steps incorporated to access the cockpit hardtop when dinghy is up, or down to the platform if submerged. The Mk 2 model raises the dinghy well above the marlin board and inboard, whilst it can be submerged almost one metre fully lowered.Up/down via wireless remote.

Approximate Cost $3500 inclusive of super winch
