Not anywhere. All the way down the crossbeam won't work.
Assuming you can keep the body straight (using the harness for instance), the effect is exactly the same, as said. But the lower the attachment, the higher the rope tension, so you it will be harder actually. Not harder to right the boat but to stay straight.
