The Coolnet Hammock is uniquely designed to fit on standard rigging of the majority of sailboats.
The
most novel feature of the "Sailboat Hammock" is three connection points (stainless steel rings) which
provide unequaled stability. The Coolnet will not tip, swing, or flip like all traditional hammocks.
This versatile hammock may be mounted in several different areas. A primary place is above
the cabin top (next to the mast and boom). This area is out-of-the-way, allowing guests unobstructed movement around
the boat. The Coolnet may also be positioned over the foredeck, or above the aft section (next to the mizzen). The
next coolest thing is that simply tying the side braid high on the boom or sail cover, amazingly converts the Coolnet into
a porch swing position...back and head fully supported...feet swinging. Two of these sailboat hammocks
may easily be hung at the same time.
Thick rope weave between oak spreaders guarantees your Coolnet will be the most
comfortable place onboard.
THE COOLNET GOES WHERE NO OTHER HAMMOCK HAS GONE BEFORE!

HISTORY
In
the summer of 1889, a riverboat plied the waters of South Carolina's beautiful Lowcountry coast. The
sultry nights were too hot for sleeping on grass-filled mattresses. To keep his crew cool and comfortable, Captain
Joshua Ward crafted the first Original Pawley's Island Rope Hammock. This handmade design, with wooden stretcher bars
and a loose-latched rope weave, proved so pleasing and popular that it has remained unchanged for over 100 years.... UNTIL
NOW...
...In the 21st century, Captain Claiborne Hamilton, in an effort to adapt
a hammock to accommodate the motion, rigging, and space restrictions of sailboats, created the Coolnet Hammock. In 2005, the Coolnet Sailboat Hammock was awarded a patent.
This delightfully comfortable,
stable, and, of course, cool hammock is now available to seafarers.
EXCLUSIVE
FEATURES The Coolnet is ideal for all anchorages and may be placed in the shade of the mainsail cover
or on the opposite sunny side, depending on preference. In calm conditions, the Coolnet may be used underway, while
jib-sailing or motoring. During fair weather, and especially on warm nights, Coolnets will serve as additional stargazing
berths. Three favorite configurations offer unrivaled versatility: - “ Full Repose”…
by stretching the hammock tightly
- “Reclined or Reading Position”…by loosening the foot line
- “The
Porch Swing Position”…by tying the side braid high on the boom or sailcover
THE
SAILBOAT HAMMOCK MAKES A PERFECT GIFT!  For price and ordering information, see below. PLACEMENT of HAMMOCK To position over cabin top: One side of the
Coolnet’s head stretcher attaches to the mast, spinnaker pole ring, or gooseneck. The other side of the head
stretcher is tied to a shroud. The body of the hammock runs aft, and the foot stretcher attaches to the boom. The
Coolnet may be similarly mounted to the mizzen. To position over foredeck: With head stretcher
tied to mast and shroud, take the foot forward and attach to the forestay or cutterstay. Multiple hammocks
may be utilized at the same time.
Important: The Coolnet must be removed during active use of
the mainsail. This is the most stable hammock we’ve ever seen, due to three points of attachment. However, it is not
intended for adverse or severe sea conditions, and should be stowed if extreme weather is expected.
