Default overkill

If it's only an attachment point for a tether, any chinese padeye will do. Any force that can break even a bronze eyestrap with two #10 bolts will first have dismembered you within your harness. There are so many naturally occurring attachment points everywhere on most boats that adding something extra just makes more clutter. Find a handy place to put a loop of line that you can easily clip your tether shackle to and you'll be fine. You can put loops anyplace you think you'll want to clip in.
