vessels (in this case, a buoy) in the event of an emergency. Because lifeboats are, in many cases, lifelines when it comes to potential water accidents, its important that these
systems are functioning and operating well. Theres little doubt that, thanks to technology, lifeboat davit systems have become more sophisticated than they
used to be. Many of these systems are remote controlled (rather than needing to be cranked by hand), making the lowering of lifeboats much quicker and more efficient than in
the past. However, even with sophisticated technology, davit systems need to be well-maintained and operational in order for safety concerns to be
addressed when and if needed. Construction of a dual point gravity davit system While finding specifics for a dual point
gravity davit system is somewhat difficult, most davits tend to operate in a similar fashion. With this in mind, well closely examine a davit system thats used to lower and
lift a lifeboat fitted to a buoy vessel. While were being general here, this is pretty much the same type of operation and technology used by most davit systems.
Gravity davits, in their most basic form, are the basic systems used to launch lifeboats in the event of an emergency. Such davits
can include (and the basic ones should include) a boom (the long arm that swings out the boat from the deck to the water), the winch (which actually raises and
lowers the boat) and control systems, some of which are button operated, others of which are controlled by way of pulleys. As we go throughout this section, well see other
