New Wichard Anchor Chain Swivels
Born from extensive R&D by the Wichard design office, the new anchor swivel was unveiled exclusively at the METSTRADE professional boat show in Amsterdam in 2025, ahead of its market launch.
The design process began with a simple observation: anchoring maneuvers are not always as smooth as users would like them to be. As a true link of trust, suitable for both sailing and powerboats, this new product is set to win over all boating enthusiasts. Combining strength and ingenuity, the anchor swivel features an exclusive design with a clever hood that enables the anchor to automatically flip into the correct position on the bow roller. This shape ensures proper anchor alignment, even when the anchor is initially misaligned, effectively eliminating the risk of jamming.
Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, the Wichard anchor swivel offers outstanding corrosion resistance and exceptional durability. Its carefully polished finish prevents snagging or friction points that could intefere with the passage through the bow roller. Designed by French deck hardware leader Wichard, the anchor swivel is compatible with most anchors on the market and comes in three models, covering 90% of existing configurations.
• Self-aligning to bow roller
• 3 sizes for chains from 1/4’’ to 5/8" (6mm to 14mm)
• Compatible with most anchors on the market
• 316L stainless steel, highly resistant to corrosion
