Arch on PDQ 36 LRC

SlowDance · Post by **SlowDance** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 6:30 pm

We're planning on installing an arch on our 1998 vintage LRC to provide a platform for navigation lights and radar (for when we temporarily remove the mast whgile doing the Great Loop), 2+ additional solar panels. The dinghy would continue to be hung from the existing davits. Has anyone done such a thing? Any pictures/plans? Thanks for the help. Jan & Bob

We had an arch built in Deltaville, VA, designed for the PDQ (we have an LRC). Len Scharf, former owner of ANAGYRI knows the gentleman who built it: Conway Boat Building 804-693-4518

I also got an arch from Mr. Conway, and I am very pleased.
If you are planning on running wire inside the arch, BE SURE that the holes at the base/attach points are as large as possible. I had to enlarge mine after the arch was installed, and it is very thick SS. A long difficult chore.

Any of you guys have a picture of the arch? Sounds interesting....

How much did the arch cost?

I think it was about $3600, but that was 3 years ago, so I'm sure the costs have gone up. (Folks in Annapolis wanted over $8000 at that time). Call Mr. Conway, I'm sure he will give you a quote.
