Thanks, I figured that the MB was not going to allow me to splice onto a ring so I stuck with the Samson instructions. The bridle actually came out pretty swell and works well. One thing is discovered though is on hoisting and lowering the dinghy to and from the davits the dinghy will often tilt up to 90* because we are lifting from the centerline and from a point nearly at the floor. A boathook allows us to keep this from happening but I may need to give this operation some more thought. For now its perfect because I can get the dinghy up to a point where the tubes lock up against the bottom of the davit arms and the dinghy is stabilized nicely without any additional straps. Onto my next adventure which will be retactable dyneema lazy jacks with a stack pack sailcover for the main and mizzen. Thanks all!
