Here's a picture of the Sling, as used in my 35' Tiara Sovran. It was taken in Taboga, one of the islands in the Bay of Panama. Here are photos of the Dinghy Sling attached with us making our way across the islands in the Panama Bay. Launching the dinghy is very easy. To bring it back on the boat, however, we found that the wide swimming platform resulted in little leverage being available to "sling" the dinghy out the water. As a result, we simply pulled it out by hand and set it on the platform, nested on the cradle formed by sling. We then hooked one of the long straps to the port cleat on the gunwale, and the other on the starboard handle of the trunk .The whole thing took about seven or eight minutes. Under way, the system worked perfectly, even at WOT. All in all, a great solution. Much simpler and lighter than any of the alternatives. Cheers, Jaime Rivera
Tina, Thank you for the e-mail. The sling davit arrived quickly and is very nice. I will try to carry my 10 ft APEX hard bottom dingy on the stern of my 1986 Island Packet 31 sailboat in October. I think that it will work well and hopefully is easier to use than lifting the dingy with a spare halyard onto the foredeck and flipping it over and lashing it down. Thank you for your prompt shipping of the product. I am looking forward to using it. Bill Speck
