Hammock mounting on sailboat deck- SailNet is a forum community dedicated to Sailing enthusiasts. Come join the discussion about sailing, modifications, classifieds, troubleshooting, repairs, reviews, maintenance, and more!
I think anyone with a modicum of ropework ability could convert any standard hammock to a "three-pointer" with a length of dowel and a few lashings. If you have a keel stepped mast, it's usually possible to rig a hammock on the centerline with some sort of fitting on the below deck portion of the mast. Nicer than a berth in hot weather, because your backside stays well-ventilated! SailNet Archiveuspirate said: just curious, how was the tension on the forestay? scary? Click to expand... If you have a deck-stepped mast with a decent compression post, you can often rig a hammock below. You can attach a hammock above-decks to the forestay with a furled jib on a roller furler by using something like the ATN Tacker around the furled jib with the spinnaker halyard to support the weight.

Develop the skills to sail the fast and responsive Laser, an Olympic class racing sailboat. The Laser is the most popular sailboat in the world with more than 200,000 built. This class is ideal for solo sailors that would like to improve their technical sailing skills and enjoy a physical challenge. What Will I Learn?By the end of Laser Sailing you will be able to independently launch, rig, and sail a Laser sailing dinghy. Topics covered include: - Launching and rigging the Laser
- Laser capsize recovery
- Controlling sail shape with sail controls
- Body mechanics
- Tell-tale use
- Roll tacks
Topics are introduced on land and then practiced on Mission Bay in a 14' Laser sailboat. Upon successful completion of the class you will be qualified to rent the Laser so you will be able to keep sailing and practicing your skills after the class ends. Is this the right class for me?Laser Sailing is one of two small boat sailing classes for students who have completed Advanced Sailing at MBAC. Laser Sailing is a good option if you are looking to sail and be eligible to rent a single handed performance boat. MBAC requires that you bring at least one other person with you to rent a Hobie Getaway, but you can rent a Laser by yourself. Hobie Cat Sailing is the right class for you if you want to become eligible to rent Hobie Getaways at MBAC. Additionally Hobie Cat Sailing is less physically demanding than Laser Sailing and you can expect to stay drier on the Hobie Getaway than the Laser. If you have some sailing experience but have never taken a formal sailing class, we suggest starting with Basic Sailing or Basic Keelboat Level 1 . Our experience has shown that people who learn to sail informally often have gaps in their knowledge that are best addressed by completing an entry-level class. Requirements- Prerequisite: MBAC Advanced Sailing or equivalent experience.
- This class is open to all participants aged 14 and up.
- A general liability waiver is required to participate. Anyone under 18 must have a waiver signed by their parent or legal guardian.
- Participants must acknowledge that they are water safe (able to swim 50 meters and comfortably tread water).
How to PrepareWear comfortable clothes that can get wet and dress in layers. The temperature can feel much cooler than expected once you are on the water, so it is a good idea to bring a jacket, even on warm days. We suggest comfortable closed-toed shoes. Sunglasses and a hat are highly recommended. Lifejackets are provided. The Laser can be a wet boat to sail, so be prepared to get wet during this class. You will practice capsize recoveries, but it is also likely that you will accidently capsize a few times during this class. Bring swimwear and a change of clothes to class each day. You may use a MBAC wetsuit for no additional charge while participating in this class. Bring sunscreen, a refillable water bottle, and snacks or lunch (for all-day classes). MBAC has a water bottle refilling station and there are a number of restaurants nearby, but keep in mind that food and drink are not available for purchase at MBAC. Parking can be a challenge at MBAC, especially during the summer months. Please visit our parking page for more information. What's Next?Upon successful completion of Laser Sailing you will be qualified to rent Lasers at MBAC by yourself. If you are looking to continue your sailing education after this course we recommend Hobie Cat Sailing . sailing Discounts!Package price includes Basic Sailing, Advanced Sailing, and Hobie Cat Sailing $470.00 Package Fee $315.00 SDSU/UCSD Student Fee Go to Fireball, 16', 1973 Originally designed by Peter Milne in 1962, the Fireball is a one-design high-performance sailing dinghy. The Fireball is sailed by a crew of two, and sports a single trapeze, symmetric spinnaker, centerboard and chined hull. The boat planes in as little as eight knots of wind and is easily controlled past 35 knots. Since the trapeze and sails require skillful adjustment rather than plain strength and can be tuned for different sailor weights, the boat lends itself to sailing and racing that is very inclusive with respect to age and gender. It's an exciting boat to sail. at [email protected] or phone 650-941-9603 --> | | - Forums New posts Unanswered threads Register Top Posts Email

Boom mounted hammock?- Thread starter Project_Mayhem

- Forums for All Owners

Project_MayhemIs the forestay strong enough to support 220+ lbs hanging off of the boom? I've seen it done but I'm a big guy so I have not tried it. Is there enough distance from your mast to the forestay to keep your arse off the deck........inquiring minds want to know.... LeslieTroyerI’d be afraid of bending the boom before breaking the forstay. If your worried about the stay - rig a halyard to the tack for extra support. DayDreamer41@Project_Mayhem 1/4" Cable has a breaking strength of about 7000# I think you will be fine. Rig one end to the mast and the other to the topping lift, the outboard end would only be carrying 1/2 the load. Michael DavisWe used the boom to lift a 480# Perkins 4-108 out of a Fast Passage 39, and to put it back in. Did tie the main halyard to the boom end though. ???? where is the fair maiden with your drink????

Use the main halyard to keep the aft loop from slipping down the mast. rgranger said: Click to expand - This site uses cookies to help personalise content, tailor your experience and to keep you logged in if you register.

I think we need a little higher angle on that first pic so we can see the set up a little more clearly. If your foredeck is long enough, you can rig it between your forestay and your mast. On the forestay end, tie the end of the hammock to the wire and use a halyard to raise it up. I've got a rolling furler and the only halyard I have is for ...

The pipe fits around the furled sail and the hammock line goes around the pipe thus spreading the load. I think it is five or six inch diameter PVC pipe but you ...
On my Hunter 45, I essentially wrap a few winds of line around the furled jib sail to hook the hammock up at one end and tie it off around the main mast shrouds at the other end. This method doesn't put anymore stress on the forestay then it would see with the Jib sail deployed,...And it's free.

Re: Using a hammock during a sailing passage. I spent 60 days cruising on the US Coast Guard Eagle. All of the cadets slept in hammocks, below deck, that were hung fore and aft. All of the hammocks swung side to side in a rolling sea. Even though they were only 12" apart, the hammocks never touched one another.
If you have a deck-stepped mast with a decent compression post, you can often rig a hammock below. You can attach a hammock above-decks to the forestay with a furled jib on a roller furler by using something like the ATN Tacker around the furled jib with the spinnaker halyard to support the weight.

Here's a step-by-step tutorial to correctly securing a hammock aboard a sailboat: Choose the Right Location. Look for a suitable location on your sailboat to hang the hammock. Ideally, you want an area that has sturdy attachment points and sufficient space for the hammock to swing freely. Assess Attachment Points.
Stretch a light line from one point to the other and put a fish weight scale on the end of the line and then a five pound weight in the middle. Then multiply by fifty for your 250 body in the hammock. Listen to Ross, its all in the vectors Victor (Airplane). I've copied others and hung it from the Mast on one end and the Main or Jib halyard on ...
Most hammock rigs I have seen hook up between the forestay the the mast, which is what we do. It helps if you have an adjustable backstay to counter the deflection of the forestay. I suppose if your topping lift was sturdy enough you could suspend one from the boom, or perhaps between the backstay and the mast.
Hanging a hammock on a sailboat can be a great way to relax and enjoy the ocean views. To get started, you will need two sets of marine-grade rope, each long enough to reach from one side of the boat to the other. Use a sturdy knot to secure one end of the rope to the boat, then tie the other end of the rope to the center of the ham ...

The 'sum' of a few hours of a hammock would be less stress than one gybe. If the rig is too light, make it heavier. A gybe puts stress along the length of the forestay, not one spot. An ATN tacker for an asym spinnaker is a good example of a pointed load on the forestay, so I suspect this has been tested over time.
They can support sails against the force of the wind, so i figure they could suppose my weight of 120 pounds. Does anyone know the test pound of average standing rigging? it must be a 1000 pounds or something. I cant run a hammock from the mast to the roller furling because my boat is also a cutter rig and the second forestay would be in the way.
mine are loosely woven stuff that allows air thru and doesnt hurt the bod when in use. mine can be installed between foresail and main mast , as that seems to be only place to install onmy boat . my

The other eyelet would be on top of your triangle and hold your patch in place up and down with a jib, genoa, main halyard. The other end of the hammock is secured to the mast.u000bu000bI've not made one yet, but it looked like a good deal. You can make it pretty much any size patch you need to support different weights.
