Certainly seems legal now. (after Q22 and Q89)

Per IO4-F, there is a 29" minimum distance between the davit knot and the first knot in the rope, presumably to put it below the davit channel. This This means that your thin rope would have to begin several inches below the touchpad. Not a show stopper, but something you'd have to design for.
