I came across a website yesterday offering an intriguing "Dinghy Sling Davit System" which apparently offers all sorts of advantages for slinging a dinghy on the transom with or without hard davits, swim platform or other fittings, at a very competitive rate. Also boasts easy loading, a rapid emergency launch and a degree of theft deterrence, amongst other things. System just seems to need well placed cleats (I think I would add a couple of Blake Slips to the falls).
The website has a nice photo gallery of systems in place. "http://www.harbormenmarine.com/ ",
Has anyone on AOG had experience of this paragon of davit systems, and would you like to share?
Thanks to all - and a safe and prosperous 2016.
Doug

Seems like a variation on this:

Notice that one of the reviews mentions that he uses the net to carry an inflatable behind a boat. I have one of these nets and it is extremely strong.
