dinghy sling davits

Has anyone any experience with this dinghy sling system?
It looks like just the solution for coastal cruising, but I'd like to hear from someone who has tried it.

I haven't tried it but have seen several boats that use a similar system at my marina. Seems to work fairly well from what I've heard from the owners. Also, would point out that you can probably use the sling system for MOB recoveries.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Yes, I thought the same for conscious MOBs when one does not have the dinghy in the sling....
