When we were in Hythe Marina for a couple of years, Peter Lovett, a friend moored a couple of boats away owns a Bavaria 32 Hardtop with snap davits for dinghy launch and recovery.
I never thought this possible and it will make you WINCE when you read it. Pete had the most unbelievably horrible experience trying to get off the swim platform onto a Jet Ski. Something caught on the davit, twanged him back and ripped his groin to pieces leaving his scrotum and gonads hanging down his leg!!!
Fantastic support from Hamble Lifeboat - Air lift and surgeons put him back together.

Frightening story but Pete is trying to raise £10,00 to help Hamble lifeboat, if you read the daily mail link to story, you'll see why.
