Does anyone use snap Davits to secure a hard dinghy to your boat. I have a H310 and am building an eight foot plywood sailing dinghy. My biggest fear of this setup is the dinghy catching water when I heel. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My boat came with them and I've had to go back to just towing my dink. Your heeling fear are well founded. I have re glued my pads on the dinghy 4 times. Once I paid a hyperlon repair guy to do them and they still came off. I could only sail down wind or else the dinghy would drag in the water. I could not figure out anyway to mount them higher on my "sugar scoop" stern. I have returned to towing the dink. YMMV
I reread your post and 8ft might work. My dink is 10.5 ft. RIB

Have them
Same here and had them on my H-36 and yes some times it would catch
water when healing and so I would have needed to make the system higher
and my dink was 9'6'' and smaller would be better.
I am selling my snap davit system.
