I encountered such a system this Spring during some rough water rescue practice wherein the hull of my water laden boat flexed around just such a SS U bolt apparatus on the rescuers back deck as we flailed in the waves trying to effect a t type rescue. I know my boat should technically not have been on his back deck but the ocean had it's own ideas which didn't fit into our plans and my boat's hull suffered the consequences.
