Kato Marine has been builidng sailboat arches for 20 years. Since we started our criteria was that the arches should be; (a) aesthetically pleasing, (b) strong, functional and made from stainless steel, and (c) finished to Kato’s usual high standards.

Soon we found ourselves making the arches for the same boat models repeatedly and we started taking jigs from the arches where we felt they might become popular. This allows us to make an arch for a boat located away from our area. A typical example is the Island Packet 420 – we have made an fifteen arches for this model!

Sailboat Arches

 Kato Marine type 316 stainless steel arches:

All our arches are designed with the ability to lift dinghies in mind. They are all welded construction – no joining sleeves or similar. We have a huge number of options available, and because the arches are built to order we can accommodate most special requests. In order to make an arch for a boat that we have no information on, we must have the boat locally in Annapolis MD. Contact us directly to ascertain whether we have an arch for your boat.
