Anchor Swivel Purchase & Unboxing - Episode #37

This is the last video in a series of 3 detailing the steps I took to upgrade the Ground Tackle for Chop Sticks my 1982 38’ Ketch Rig. In this video I look at 3 different Anchor Swivels brands and ultimately make a purchase decision. This is followed by an unboxing. I hope you enjoy and find it informative!

Great series on your new ground tackle. A year later, are you happy with your choices and performance while anchoring?

Hello, Thanks much for watching and for leaving a comment… To be honest I have not installed them on my boat yet.. due to several Home renovation projects and some other issues outside of my control I did not launch my boat in 2022 or 2023.. I did launch her this past season but due to an unexpected sea cock / Thru-hull issue she stayed dockside this past season..The current Plan is to install the new ground Tackle the 2025 season.. 😎⛵️🥢🏴‍☠️🤙🥰

40 years and over 200,000 miles later and I still dont know what an anchor swivel is for, except emptying your wallet. You dont need it, it makes your ground tackle more likely to fail. Nice shackle, though.
