Re: swivels at the anchor
Before adding the Ultra fip swivel. Our Mantus anchor was coming in upside down about 50 percent of the time. Towing this anchor in reverse normally would right the anchor unless there were twists

Re: swivels at the anchor
How are the twists introduced?
I speculate it is not in the hauling up of the anchor, but whilst at anchor. The boat rotates around the hook as the wind swings/dies at night whatever. It could

Re: swivels at the anchor
I’ve found that the Wasi swivel makes it more likely that the anchor comes up the wrong way. This is with my 55 kg Spade. Now with the anchor shackle its 50/50 whether I need to turn it by going
