Overview
A growing number of cruising yachts are using Tower in a Box stern mounted arches to mount solar panel arrays and lift their tender. Frequently arches cannot be mounted sufficiently far aft to provide a straight pick when lifting the tender, and the tender needs to be dragged up and over the sugar scoop or extended platform to raise it into a secure position under the arch. The Tender Handler option provides reach to lift the tender from the water behind a sugar scoop transom or extended swim platform and then bring it high and close to the yacht under the arch, where it can be secured for navigation. The unique design feature is the articulated pivot at the connection of the Tender Handler frame to the arch, eliminating the need for perfect alignment and ensuring smooth operation.
