Title: Fitting a liferaft to a bavaria 32 coachroof
Post by: Tony Barlow on March 13 2012, 21:49

Has anyone fitted a liferaft canister to the coachroof of a 32? If anyone has, what fixings did you use and how did you go about it?

I've seen one with the standard S/steel fitting bolted on to the panel above the  hatch garage.
A bit ugly and it reduced the  visibility.
Suspect you would have to be very careful if yuo  had a lot  of  mainsheet out and gybed; big chance of rope  going under  the  frame anf LIFTOFF!

Agree with both the above, the latter possibly to the extent of being dangerous ...
