Dinghy up level with flybridge

All,

I'm adding some dinghy davits to my 40ft Mainship and would like some feedback if it's a good idea.

I'm going to mount the davits on the aft flybridge, that will overhand the swim platform and bring the dinghy up to the level of the flybridge.

Advantage is that it's totally out of the way. Can get on the swim platform and it's above. Looking out the aft area from the lower helm, and it's above. Looking aft from the flybridge and it's below, but might block a bit trying to look down from the back.

With the same davits I could just hold it on the swim platform and tie it to the cleats to keep it from swinging aft. A bit of a crude drawing, but the idea is there.

Thoughts?
