The davits are specially made from carbon-fibre. The beam is designed to lift directly over the lifting points in the tender to prevent longitudinal stresses being placed on the davit arms, which are long so as to touch each side of the tender’s Hyperlon tubes for stability and to keep the tender level. A remote control lifts and lowers the tender, and LED lights on the underside of the davits make night attachment easier. Secondary connection points on the underside of the davit arms secure the tender when the boat is making passage. The height of the davits ensures the bottom of the tender’s hull is situated above the bridge deck to prevent interference from tunnel waves.
