how do you feed a fender through the roller if you have to do an emergency release? something doesnt add up

great question, and something I failed to show during set-up. The line tied to the fender feeds through the bow roller and back to the anchor locker. I will pin this comment so everyone else can see. Thanks for posting

I'm glad you are still making content like this. I recently earned a trio of ASA certs and your videos have helped me in remedial training.

great review and great idea, thank you

i’ve read some anchor maker’s say that you don’t want an anchor too big because it won’t work properly. stay within recommended ranges.

As someone currently going through sail training, very interesting, I can see the benefits of having the swivel, but does it not introduce another potential failure point?

this is why anchoring can be such a contested topic, and yes, it could be seen as a potential fail point. Again, depends on your sailing. If we anchor for a week (and sometimes we do) we can expect 4 rotations per day due to current changes, making 28 rotations over a week. You would definitely want a swivel in those scenarios. Thanks for watching and good luck with your training

I'd be very concerned about any connection in the anchor line which can't be inspected. From what I've seen, with the cheapest sort of anchor swivels like the one shown diagrammatically in the video, the rotating bearing is hidden and the swivel can't be disassembled. So using this type of swivel in a marine environment means you're forced to assume that the concealed point of rotation isn't being weakened by corrosion. This seems unwise to me in a time when hardware that looks good on the surface but is actually cheap rubbish abounds. There are more expensive swivels which can be taken apart.

@@allanmason3201 great information, thanks for sharing

Make sure to mention that a stainless steel anchor is not a good idea in salt water for long term cruisers
