[Angel"]

  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?

A big advantage of the longer bow roller is keeping the beast on the bow. 

Beware of  "longer" bow rollers!.

During a gale, the forces of the anchor and the anchor line on the bow roller are quite high!!.

Long bow rollers need to be oversized!
