In Response To: Re: For what purpose? (Jed)

: For resting I use the static brace technique but it is somewhat equipment and
: certainly flexability dependent. Alternatively we will raft up and lean
: over each other's boats. Ed Gillet (solo long crossing fame), I believe
: threw out a sea anchor (afixed to his bow to stay bow into the seas) and
: climbed down into his custom made double (enough room to lay directly on
: the hull, butt & torso).

IIRC, he also used an outrigger or two for added stability while sleeping.
