    Boat Hammock

    Like most things hammock, this has probably been covered elsewhere, but I came across this boat hammock, and I was intrigued by the design.

    It seems to have a shorter spreader bar, and I think I read somewhere that multiple support lines on the end of the hammock can add to comfort because they spread and help prevent tightness around the shoulders.

    Your thoughts?

    Boat hammock vs. Hammock boat!
