Stern Arch

Recently there has been discussion on the Valiant-list regarding stern arches. Gene and Sheri Seybold were nice enough to forward some pictures of Reflections arch. They are quite happy with it. It incorporates a dingy lift supported by 2 sets of block and tackle for hoisting the dingy. It can be used to carry the dingy level or flush to the stern. The strength of the system is adequate for moderate conditions but they state that they would not keep the dingy there offshore. If anyone has any questions or needs measurements please let them know. Additional pictures of this arch are also available.
