what is your view on using big swivel to connect the anchor to the chain? I was reading Earl Heinz’ book on anchoring and it seems important to put them on the right way around – Phil
Swivels are not required in my own experience. I have never used one. Also, they are a potential failure point. I know of two boats that have had problems as a result of their swivels. – Steve
