The sentinel had minimum impact when the wind would start coming up and would introduce it's own problem, chafe. It's also not a substitute for a properly sized and set anchor. If you're thinking of adding some weight to your anchor rode, I would recommend adding more chain.
I couldn't agree more!.. - "Angel" - "Chum" - "Sentinel" - "Mobi-lest" ... has mostly a psychological effect, and with medium to strong winds, nearly NO effect at all !...
If you feel the need for a Sentinel, perhaps it is the right time to reconsider your anchoring gear?
