Doesn't TenderConnect create a large wind resistance?

No, at least 80% of the dinghy are in the "slipstream" of the cockpit, cockpit and stern. Therefore, in forward winds and aft winds, the additional wind resistance caused by this type of transport is negligible in any case.

So far, only positive changes have been observed with the use of TenderConnect. 

Certainly, the wind resistance of the entire yacht increases due to sideways winds. These effects are not noticeable, neither when steering nor when mooring nor...

So there is no need to worry about any impairment. On the contrary, the fact of not having to worry about the dinghy increases the fun even in higher winds!

The following picture shows well the situation on a yacht of a customer:

No wind resistance!
Just as you can't see the dinghy, you can't catch the wind in it.
Hardly visible behind the yacht.
Even if the dinghies are larger, at the stern of the yacht they are usually in the slipstream.

Does TenderConnect also work in high waves?

The handling of a dinghy - regardless of TenderConnect - is of course always affected by waves and wind. However, the influences of wind and wave on the dinghy have much less effect when fixed by TenderConnect than when you transport the dinghy otherwise without TenderConnect!

TenderConnect can be used without restrictions even in waves. Lowering into the water is problem-free in high waves. You should only lower it realtive fast. 3 seconds then it is also unhooked immediately.

When bringing up, back on board one should synchronize a little with the up/down movements of the ship. One has a firm grip on the dinghy with a line attached to the outriggers (attached to the transom of the dinghy). This is used to raise it. It is also synchronized with the up and down movements of the stern of the yacht. Now you have to put the outriggers into the transducers and from that moment on the dinghy is firmly connected to the yacht (yacht is higher than the dinghy would be in the water). If you hurry a little with the pulling up, then it works out very well. 

Only for comparison once, the consideration, as that in the comparison with Davits of statet goes. Here you must normally first attach the pull-up lines in three places IN the dinghy. For this you have to climb into the dinghy! Then pull up, with two different rope pulls - left and right, either in pairs (with TenderConnect one man is enough) or alternately.

Doesn't TenderConnect obstruct the view to the rear?

Of course, the view to the rear is limited. But please realize the following: 

Your dinghy is about 1.2 to 1.4 meters wide. Your yacht from about 30 feet is between 2.80 meters to about 5 meters wide at the stern, depending on its size. So you can look aft past the dinghy without any problems. Take a look at the picture at the top of this page.

With a little familiarization, you will then no longer find it difficult to put on the back.

And also note that it is still better to have restricted visibility aft than forward - if the dinghy is on the cabin roof. A restricted view aft is also preferable to the fact that a dinghy on the foredeck constantly causes problems when sailing, besides the fact that it is difficult to hoist the dinghy on deck and lash it securely so that it does not come loose even in strong winds.

This picture was taken while mooring in Trogir in spring 2016. From the point of view of an adult male looking aft amidships.

You can see that the visibility is also quite adequate midship. The helmsman standing to the side sees even better.

Also on this deck salon yacht there is hardly any visual obstruction. Any angle of view is allowed by slightly shifting the position backwards.
