I'm wondering what might be the shortest and longest ridgeline comfortably used here. If theres a thread beeing that specific about the topic please move me there. If not I would love to find out with this survey.
Further more it might be interesting to get some extra info like:

My 2 cents (stretch of the fabric is not a factor in this calculation):

When going up to 96.6% RL* your Hammock Fabric will suffer 200% of your body weight as the small angle will be 15° and the big one 150°. If you then lower one end further more it might get even more stress up to 400% of your body weight.
When going to 86.6%* RL your hammock fabric will feel you with 100% of your body weight with a small angle of 30° and a big one with 120°.
When going down to 70%* RL your hammock fabric will feel you with around 70% of your body weight with a small angle of around 45,5° and a big one with 89%°.
Anyone hanging that saggy or even more?
*100% are the length of the hammock. (Or more precisely the point to point where you attach the RL to your hammock)
