Stainless steel anchor chain: elegant, but sometimes not unproblematic
Bobby Schenk dedicates a new article on his homepage to the topic of anchor chains. He gives tips on selection and care

"The anchor chain is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment on a yacht," says Bobby Schenk. "If you buy an expensive, shiny stainless steel chain - an ornament for every cruising boat - this could have fatal consequences and even lead to the loss of the boat. A little specialised knowledge is therefore advisable."
