galley hamock

Post by Desiderata »

Hi, new to the forum, so this may already have been covered.
Anyway, the admiral wants to put a storage hamock in the galley area as a place to stow some fruits n veggies.
I am not a great fan of drilling holes into perfectly sound bulkheads, but..
Question. Has anyone hung similar hamocks or baskets? Where did you hang them and how thick is the bulkhead where you hung them?
Tks

We have a few on TRIUMPH. One is on the starboard side over the shelf over the settee. It's tied to the light fixture, and then a hook we installed over near the edge of the galley. (hidden) I also tie it to the SS rod nearby to keep it from swinging. The second one is in the aft cabin over where the table storage is. We don't store the spare table on the boat so this leaves a lot of room for a hanging hammock. Not sure what this one is attached to.

Thanks for your reply Bill.
That area makes a lot of sense, and doesnt require a lot of holes to be drilled.
