Depois de muito tempo ancorados na Culatra, percebemos que um distorcedor seria necessário. Não é sempre que ele faz falta, mas em locais onde ficamos mais tempo, ter um faz bastante diferença. Então começamos uma pesquisa para encontrar um distorcedor fosse mais forte que a corrente e a manilha, para não termos um ponto falho. Foi aí que encontramos o S2 da Mantus, perfeito para o nosso sistema. A força de trabalho dele é de 2 toneladas, ou seja: muito mais forte que a nossa corrente. O S2 fica entre a corrente e a âncora, permitindo que ela gire livremente e evitando torções que podem enfraquecer o conjunto. Ele vem desmontado e você mesmo monta na hora da instalação, seguindo os passos indicados. Ele é feito em aço inox 316, super resistente, e deixou nosso sistema de ancoragem ainda melhor!✨ Menos torção, mais segurança, e mais tranquilidade pra curtir a vida a bordo do Utopia. [EN] After spending a long time anchored in Culatra, we realized that a swivel was necessary. It’s not something you always need, but in places where we stay for longer periods, it makes a big difference. So we started researching to find a swivel that was stronger than our chain and shackle, so we wouldn’t have a weak point in the system. That’s when we found the Mantus S2, perfect for our setup. Its working load is 2 tons, which means it’s much stronger than our chain. The S2 sits between the chain and the anchor, allowing the anchor to rotate freely and preventing twists that can weaken the system. It comes disassembled, and you put it together yourself during installation by following the provided steps. Made of 316 stainless steel, it’s super durable and has made our anchoring setup even better! ✨ Less twisting, more security, and more peace of mind to enjoy life aboard Utopia!

🥨 How to tie the Bowline. A Super Easy method. You could call this "Spock's Bowline". ..... If you sometimes struggle with the bowline, which way to coil or twist the loop in, which side of the standing part to loop the working end round, blah, blah, blah, then try this method. It uses your hand as a "Bowline Guide"..it's logical Cap'n. .... Just make a 🖖"Vulcan Salute" with your hand and loop your working end once around your 3rd and 4th fingers. Clamp the loop and the standing part with these fingers. ... It works with either hand, we're showing the right hander's version. If you're a leftie, just do the mirror opposite. ... Then pass your line around the back of your hand and make the bowline as usual (up the hole, round the standing part, back down the hole). Just follow the shape of your hand as you go round . Works for me, anyway. .... Live Long and Prosper. ...
