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, so, 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.
And now,
in 2006, this delightfully comfortable, stable, and, of course, cool hammock is 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:
1) “ Full Repose”… by stretching the hammock tightly
2) “Reclined
or Reading Position”…by loosening the foot line
3) “The Porch Swing Position”…by tying
the side braid
high on the boom or sailcover
THE SAILBOAT
HAMMOCK MAKES A PERFECT GIFT!
 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.
