For me the weirdest detail in the story was the casual mention of the two makeshift hammocks that were already rigged up when they arrived. How many people have tried this before, and what happened to the last people who tried?
In any case, looks like this is the maritime version of the airplane wheel-well stowaway:

- Aachen 3y agoI can't figure out how they attached the hammock. Looked up some more images online of rudders with stowaways but I don't see no net nor a place to attach besides the steering hinge thing (so you could attach a rope there, but where goes the second attach point?)
- etrautmann 3y agoSome epoxy putty and a hook with a flat flange could make a viable hammock attachment in about 15 min.

- blamazon 3y agoOne idea: It is possible to 'stick weld' with a car battery(ies).
