I'm not the best of sleepers even with a few beers under the belt, so the constant humming from the rigging at anchor drives me nuts!! This happens on both my boats so I assume it isn't boat specific and it's either the stays or mast setting up standing waves. It happens in very light winds as well as stronger winds.
I have played with rig tension and all it does is change the tone. I've tried tying rope and shock cord straps between the stays/mast but nothing gets rid of it. A musical person could play tunes by leaning against the stays!! It's worse inside of course as the hull acts like a guitar body. You can't hear it at all from the cockpit or the deck which is where I generally end up sleeping.
Does anyone know what can be done about this!
Cheers
