Have any of you hung gear hammocks in the cabin of a M 15? Where did you hang them? What I mean is that I purchased the commercial hooks Defender sells for hammocks. Since there is no wood in the cabin, the only alternative I can see is to drill holes and through bolt them under the decks port and starboard. If you have some ideas, I am open to all possibilities. Phil
Hi Phil, My approach would be to epoxy wood blocks to the area where you want to fasten the hammock, and when the epoxy has hardened, put our hammock fittings into the wood block. That way you drill no holes through the deck, but create the desired anchor points. Connie Phil & Frances wrote:

SCRED has the hooks for hammocks on both sides of the V-berth. i only have the starboard side instilled with netting. a prior owner used plastic hooks (like those you get with double backed tape on the mounting surface for use in homes) and used some type of epoxy/stickum (it is brownish) to attach to the hull liner. of the four hook three were broken when i purchased SCRED. looking at the situation i saw there was enough 'structure' available on the broken hooks to drill a hole and attach brass d-rings. to these rings i attached the hammock. i then used used a dremel grinder to smooth over the jagged edges of the broken-off hooks to give a better look and avoid one getting a scratch etc. non-detail pictures can be seen in on SCRED's 'm15 interior tour' slide show (about 1min 10sec and again at 2min 30sec into presentation) - http://www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred/m15interiortour.htm i can take up-close photos of the work if requested. dave scobie M15 #288 - SCRED visit Scred's www-site: www.freewebs.com/m15-named-scred Phil & Frances <srelt@iclub.org> wrote: Have any of you hung gear hammocks in the cabin of a M 15?

My approach to gear hammocks was simply to add wing nuts to some of the deck hardware bolts that were already there in about the right place.. I had search without results for apparently non-existent "eyes with threads, not bolts" The wing nuts gave me enough to tie the hammock lines too. This fix has not yet stood the test of time and heavy loads. Perhaps, also, I was lucky to have usable bolt locations, courtesy of some previous owner installed deck gear. I'm not making any holes that I can creatively avoid! And, that has me thinking of adding one high, tight to the cabin roof, and? well forward just to store PFDs. Has anyone tried anything like that? My respect (and fear of removal) for 5200 continues to grow!

Does anyone else call them "monkey hammocks" or is this something else my dad made up? Jim M-17 "Spirit" On Jun 12, 2008, at 7:01 AM, Phil & Frances wrote:

Sure! They are too small for a person, but about the right size for a monkey!
