Permanent berth
The parts arrived very quickly, as always. I attached them to the forward mooring lines. They keep our boat about 20-30 cm away from the quay edge. Many thanks to SVB for the consistently good service.

Fast shipping, good shock absorber
A great help in marinas and sometimes even at anchor. The damper absorbs the strongest jerks from the system and yields up to half a meter, depending on the number of rope wraps. Very comfortable, and it looks well-made. It's important not to skimp on the size, but to choose one appropriately sized for the actual weight of the boat; otherwise, a damper that's too weak will simply stretch out or break.

Everything's OK
A little tight for the 16mm cable, but everything is OK once installed.

Excellent
In my opinion, they're still the best shock absorbers on the market. They withstand the elements, they don't get soft or sticky, and in my 35 years of sailing, I've only ever had one shock absorber with a broken line guide.

I'm referring to the original Forsheda shock absorber, as there are already tons of cheap knockoffs available.

by Miroslav H. Flag of Czechia 5/9/2024 Verified purchase Variant: 11390
It was surprising
I have a SY with a displacement of 118 tons and I was surprised that the 4 compensators dampen it even in stronger winds.
I bought the largest one offered, but I would probably need a little stronger one.
Stretching the 24mm rope was very difficult, but the work paid off.
