Slapping Of Water Under Stern

[Martin999]

With my old Moody 44 and being a v. light sleeper I never really found a satisfactory solution having tried various actual products. I vowed never to get a boat where I have to sleep in the back again. Interestingly when you go to SIBS you can be on seriously expensive "luxury" yachts and they still suffer this, so really surprised manufacturers have not addressed it.

I couldn't agree more we went on the Oyster 575 and were amazed at how loud the slapping was - I wonder how many slaps you get per £M

For me, the sound of water slapping on the hull is part of the sound of sailing!
