400: L400 with Rocna Vulcan 25 Anchor

[katsumi]

Hi Tom
The Rocna 25 kg (the one with the roll bar) fits well, no modifications made.
I do not have a swivel in place I worked on a Motor yacht once where we had swivels and the first officer lost a $20 000 anchor because the swivel broke, but I believe it broke mainly because he did not slow the anchor winch down before the anchor hit the pocket. Anyhow after that we replaced the swivels every 2 years regardless and trained the crew to slow the winch down before it hit the anchor pocket.My problem with swivels is that it is a bit of a guessing game as you can not inspect the internal section.
I use 2 rated shackles to connect the chain to the anchor I find this helps orientate the anchor into the right position in the roller when it is retrieved.

Adding a Rocna33 to my new Lagoon400, coming in June. Scottster, how did you finally do with the issues of the raceway and the bow roller? Thx :-)
