[C320-list] Anchor Chain Question.

[ptormey at 4square.net]

Here is a weight rating for chain that might help.
Looks like you'll be adding about 70kg (30m x 2.3kg per) to the bow so that'd be one "able bodied" crewmember on the bow 😉

Subject: [C320-list] Anchor Chain Question.

Hi,

I currently have a 15 kg Rocna anchor with 40 m of 8 mm chain and 30 m of rope. I am wanting to convert to an all chain rode of 70 m so we don’t have to transfer between rope and chain on the windless. 

I am concerned about the extra weight of the additional chain in the anchor locker. Has anyone got an all chain set up 70 or more meters in length?

Thanks in advance for you comments.
