Spotlight: Top Features of Our Custom Arch

When it comes to streamlining your boat and maximizing its functionality, the Custom Solar/Radar Arch from Atkins & Hoyle stands out as a versatile and reliable solution. Designed with marine-grade materials and customizable options, this arch is perfect for mounting solar panels, radar systems, and dinghy davits. Let’s explore the top features that make our custom arch the ultimate choice for your vessel.

1. Fully Customizable Design

Our Solar/Radar Arch is tailored to meet the unique needs of boat owners. Whether you’re looking to mount solar panels, install an antenna mount (Radar or Starlink), or integrate dinghy davits, this arch provides unmatched flexibility. With adjustable widths and options for anodized aluminum or 316L stainless steel, it adapts seamlessly to your boat’s layout.

2. Modular Construction for Durability

Unlike traditional welded designs, our arch features a modular design using Atkins & Hoyle’s proprietary fittings. This approach enhances strength while allowing easy repairs or upgrades—making it a top choice for marine hardware enthusiasts.

3. Premium Marine-Grade Materials

You can choose between two high-performance materials:

• Anodized Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, weighing approximately 80 lbs.
• 316L Stainless Steel: Renowned for its strength and longevity, weighing approximately 130 lbs.

Both materials are engineered to withstand harsh marine environments, ensuring durability and reliability.

4. Versatile Size Options for Every Vessel

Our custom arches come in a range of sizes to fit various boat types:

• Small: 72"-90" width, 65" height under the arch
• Medium: 90"-110" width, 72" height under the arch
• Large: 110"-144" width, 80" height under the arch

Each option can be adjusted to provide the perfect fit for your vessel, making it an ideal solution for sailboats and powerboats alike.

5. Upgrade Options for Enhanced Functionality

Take your boat’s hardware to the next level with these upgrades:

• Stainless Steel Upgrade: Double the strength by upgrading from aluminum to stainless steel, perfect for demanding conditions.
• Telescoping Davits: Ideal for hoisting dinghies or equipment, with a safe working load of 200 lbs.
• Pivoting Davits: For heavier lifting requirements, offering a safe working load of 300 lbs.

6. Solar Panel Integration

As the name suggests, the Solar/Radar Arch is designed with renewable energy in mind. It includes options for solar panel mounts, allowing you to install and adjust panels to maximize power generation. This makes it an excellent choice for eco-conscious boaters who value energy efficiency on the water.

7. Lightweight Yet Robust Design

With its lightweight construction, the arch minimizes additional weight on your boat. The aluminum version weighs ~80 lbs, while the stainless steel version weighs ~130 lbs—delivering durability without compromising performance.
