Hammocks on the 26X?

Can anyone recommend a hammock for the 26X?

My thinking is over the foredeck for the Admiral.

Has anyone done one on an M? I mean, without a backstay. I should think it would cop quite a bit more strain with a genny flying in a bit of a wind so surely it should be okay right ??

300 lbs(admiral+captain) weight on the mast 6 feet up.....so 150 on mast,ergo about an extra 40 on each shroud.....not too much to worry about there IMHO , even sans backstay.

Makes sense to me. mm May have to find an appropriate hammock - sounds like a worthy investment

Does anyone know the manufacturer of the blue hammock shown in the photos? It's not Henessee - they don't have a blue one like the one shown in the photo.
My 120 pound admiral would look real good up there and she may enjoy the sail better up there.
