Dinghy up level with flybridge

[Islanddreamer]

No Swingy Dinghy. The handy Admiral used webbing straps and secured snap shackles to the end. After reading an article about how quickly a fire spread, we re-evaluated how we secured the dinghy. We can get the dingy off in 15-20 seconds if needed. Also added an offset strap with a little tension to eliminate movement.

Was watching this thread closely because including pleasure use of the dinghy, it may need to serve another purpose in an emergency, and we both wanted to deploy quickly if needed.

Both of the slings she made from the "S" hooks use the same strap and shackle arrangement. It's a safe and quick solution, and I could put many times more weight on this arrangement that we currently have.

Thanks for all the ideas. Think I can make it work... back to the planning.

Everything is possible getting it right the first time is the challenge

SeeVee I snapped these pictures for you yesterday. I thought you would like to see what was done here. Half of the railing was removed & a cradle was made to mount the dingy on the hardtop over the cockpit behind the bridge. It actually worked pretty well.
