<John wrote A flopper-stopper or two would have helped as well... not sure how to compare those to a tank for at-anchor roll reduction.>

The key operative here was "simple is good".

The roll stabilization tank works 100% of the time with NO effort on our
part. Nothing to turn on, adjust, deploy, maintain, tune, setup or break
down and store.

By the way after 3 years I did open the access plates on top to check the
water level. No water was required to be added!

Dead simple!

BTW, Swan Song is 58' on deck with a narrow beam of 12' 6"
