Amsteel Whoopies

[Cazador]

Hey everyone. I just started playing around with some Amsteel and I'm about to venture into making my own whoopie slings for my Hennessy. One thing I noticed is that most websites have a different option for Hennessy Hammocks. Whats the reason behind this? Is there a big difference between a whoopie sling for a non-hennessy vs. a hennessy?

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the input.

The way in which the line attaches to a HH is a little different than most other hammocks. It takes several more inches of line at the base/fixed eye to match the original HH lines attachment method...hence the different option. Not a huge difference but enough to note and adjust for.

Ahh. Alright, that makes sense. How much longer would you recommend I make them then?

[pgibson]

6 inches or so in the fixed eye area should be good. You can do that with the length of the fixed eye or just have a small fixed eye with more space before the adjustable bury. 6 of one....

Sounds good! I appreciate your help.

Thanks for that link. Made a little more sense. Basically the whoopie needs to be a few inches longer to accommodate the wrapping correct?

I just made a continuous loop for the attatchment point of my HH. Larks head the whoopie to that.

I'm curious as to how you attach the continuous loop to the HH.

I'm curious as to how you attach the continuous loop to the HH.

I was gonna try this on my Hennessy - basically hum a bar and fake it. Having already done the whoopie conversion, I imagine it's probably not too complex. Probably just a larkshead should do it.
