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 main... if I bring it around to the bow it wraps around the sidestays and I worry about chafing.
Rigging a hammock; advice needed!
If, conversely, you would be tying to a foil, I would advise against it. A better system would be to rig the hammock to the spinnaker halyard, combined with a downhaul or foreguy, combined with a reaching strap such as are used with asymmetrical spinnakers. cruising is entirely about showing up--in boat shoes.

Hammock mounting on sailboat deck
If you have a deck-stepped mast with a decent compression post, you can often rig a hammock below.

Spinaker pole method works the best for me. Air-Chair / Hammock Chair is on the rear arch. Great for sittiing while sailing, reading and keeping watch.
Hammock on my 25' sloop?
A 25 foot boat is probably going to have 3/16", or thereabouts, wire for the standing rigging. A 200" guy pullling on that headstay horizontally is going to induce a lot more stress on the rig than I think you understand. ... I REALLY want a hammock on my boat, but have always feared the forces applied to the stay by the vector pull.

Using a hammock during a sailing passage
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.

Hammock on deck
Yes I rig my hammock to the end of my spinnaker pole and the other end to the mast car. the pole topping lift keeps the pole in place. I run a line from the outboard pole end to the headstay and back to the hammock to keep from hitting the shrouds. when you need to exit the hammock simply pull the control line lead around the headstay so that the hammock comes back over the foredeck and voila!
Hammocks and Stress on Standing Rigging
Although the force is probably more than 200 lbs because of the angle, I tend to agree that on any boat 25 ft or larger the stress jnduced through the use of a hammock is minimal.On a smaller boat that has loose rigging, it may indice some kinks. Location: Onboard Georgetown, MD.
Hammocks and stress on standing rigging
Standing rigging is usually made from 1 x 19 construction. The wires are thick and stiff, and should never be bent in a tight radius, except once if formed around an eye permanently. So a point load on this kind of wire can easily cause a permanent kink that you may not notice.
Slinging a Hammock
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.
Hanging hammocks
Re: Hanging hammocks. It would depend on the size of the boat--bigger boat therefore stronger rigging and mast. Lateral forces on a taut shroud generates a much larger load on the shroud than the what the lateral force is. And unless there is a big sag in the hammock, the load generated would be a lot greater that the weight in the hammock.
Small boat and a hammock?
JKCatalina310. 164 posts · Joined 2010. #5 · Dec 16, 2010. Between the head stay and the mast. We had a hammock on our C&C 24. I would attach the head end to the mast with some old jib sheet line, using the boom connection to stop the line from sliding down the mast. The other end I would connect to the furled head sail with a carabiner.

He's thinking of welding a hook to each side of the bimini - and then hang both hammocks between that and the boom. He's NOT allowed to wear straw hats, so don't encourage him.
