I need some advice.
I have a 10' RIB which I hang off our sturdy davits via two cradles. Over the years I have never satisfactorily worked out a system to secure the inflatable to stop it bouncing around in a sloppy sea.
The most effective I have managed is to secure the boat hard up against the davits, this is not great as it results in some chafing etc on the hyperlon tubes.
Does anyone use a fixed system, that is stainless steel rods etc, that provides a secure point for the dingy but still leaves the RIB clear of the davits.
Any advice gratefully received.
Cheers,
Andy
