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!

The Bristol Channel Pilot Cutter type has long been held in the highest of esteem as the perfect all round sailing vessel, and ALPHA completely fits that billing. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/479/ALPHA Call Barney Sandeman: +44 (0)1202 330077 ALPHA's long and interesting life has been guaranteed to last many more years after a restoration undertaken by and under the supervision of some of the best possible practitioners of their craft, for owners who really knew what they wanted based on long experience under sail, and an intense two seasons of intimacy with ALPHA as purchased and pre-restoration. Independent of all the superb craftsmanship, the key element that has been restored in ALPHA is her ability from birth as a superbly easily handled vessel under sail and power by just two people, whilst offering the most comfortable of accommodation for long periods with plenty of space for friends.
