Dinghy Arch addition to a Jeanneau 409

French Kiss’ new addition

Thanks to the owners of sv French Kiss for the photos of the arch complete with new canvas and dinghy. Klacko marine fabricated a dinghy arch that would accomodate solar panels, wind generator, multiple GPS, VHF and wifi antenna, and lift their Highfield dinghy with ease. The result was perfectly matched to the clean and modern lines of the 409. Because the canvas was already built and in place, Klacko Marine took special care to design the arch around the existing enclosure.  Also notable are the custom side rails that were integrated into the existing gate stanchions which will allow better cockpit security and increase space for the bbq and other cruising necessities.
