I want to fix our life raft on the deck, preferably aft of the mast.
Has any one managed to do this?
Thanks

Life raft mountings must be very secure on deck, or your raft can get washed over the side. Stowage in a suitable cockpit locker is probably the best solution. A local yacht lost its life raft in a short ocean race, it went through the cockpit and cleared the lifelines luckily missing all of the crew. The yacht subsequently sank for other reasons leaving the crew in the water at midnight. They were very lucky to be rescued by another yacht, but thats another story.
