A new article is now online on the Excess Lab, shedding light on a key aspect of life on board: davits and tender launching solutions.
Behind this seemingly discreet piece of equipment lie real usability challenges. Ease of handling, movement on board, comfort at anchor and under sail—each solution addresses specific needs and directly influences everyday life at sea.
In this article, the Excess teams explore the different technical approaches, explain the design logic behind them, and share feedback drawn from real-life sailing experience. The goal: to provide clear and accessible insights to better understand the available options, without jargon or theoretical discourse.
Content true to the Excess spirit: clear, practical, and connected to real life at sea.
