I'm thinking of freeing up some below deck space and am considering
hammock usage rather than bunks.

Caveats and kudos from experienced users would be appreciated.

Hammocks are not comfortable, especially if you are not used to
heavy bent over work. They are murder on your back. Nor is it
possible to lie on your tummy in a hammock unless you are a drunken
contortionist, feeling no pain.

You have to be dead tired and cold in your bones before you feel any
comfort from sleeping in what amounts to the bottom of a big sack.

Try one for a week at home before you take the plunge.

How sailors ever got girls into one is beyond me.

That's why they found space between the guns - hence the term "son of a gun."

You are obviously not Canadian, because sex in a hammock is quite a
bit like sex in a canoe (the OTHER national sport), except that the
paddle doesn't poke one at inopportune moments....

Could be they were drunken contortionists?

Hi

Have you thought of either a Pipe Cot, where a piece of canvas is
laced to a pipe frame so that it can be pivoted out of the way, or a
Root Berth, where a piece of canvas is fastened to the hull at one
side and to a movable spar at the other slotted into supports?

Regards

Steve
