I don't see how it could require any less crew than the Single point launch. Its definitely not quicker to recover boats by the stern ramp. There are many types of side davits. You need to be more specific. The irish Navy uses a mix of Effer(Hiab) cranes and Caley davits. The Peacocks use a crane not unlike the Effer in principle, but it does not stow as tidily. An Afterthought on the Part of the RN perhaps.
In the past, Nationwide had a clip of the Customs cutter using the Stern Launched RIB on the Suirbheir. However since they rejigged their website, the link I had no longer works. http://www.rte.ie/news/2004/0628/nationwide.html
