    I have an Achilles dink hanging from a pair of davits. I don't much like
    the way I've got it attached to the davits. I was looking critically at
    the web site for the dingy lift (advertised in Sail Mag), thinking
    erroneously, that it might help me. I realized from looking at the
    pictures they had attached to rings mounted on the inside of the tubes. I
    don't have such things on my dink. I'm currently using the small
    rings where the mooring/tow lines are fed through. The disadvantage of
    that is when the front tube loses air, the bow of the dink becomes lower
    than the stern and the boat fills up with rain water. Eventually something
    breaks, since the system wasn't designed to hold many gallons of fluid.

    So how do I avoid that problem. I don't mind spending a few bucks on the
    right solution.

    Thanks,
    Jim.
