Cooney Marine

Dear Sir, I was interested to read your confirmation of the purchase of Whittall Davits by Cooney Marine ( BB August). I would like raise issue with your article in that they are 'the sole manufacturer of davits' in Britain.

As manufacturers of the 'Crane davits', based in the heart of England, we have a davit that uses the latest technology in reinforced resins, our own epicycle gearboxes and weighs half of the equivalent SS products.

Our davits are designed and produced in England and although we do not have the volume turnover, we do however offer a modern product that complements the designs of current yachts and are not a development of a 70's davit. The 'Crane davit' has the distinction of being an outright winner of the coveted METS "DAME" award for design.

Yours faithfully Kenneth Ryland Manufacturers of Crane Davits From Andy Sims, Cooney Marine

Whoops!

We did not start out to upset anyone and we're sorry if this has upset Kenneth, but we manufacture davits, passerelles and cranes and I don't know anyone else who does all this!

But in the interests of everyone; I guess we are one of the only volume manufacturers of quality davits and passerelles in Britain, with a large and ever expanding range of products.

Regards, Andy Sims Cooney Marine
