How much working load does my anchor chain need?
Hi
Im about to buy about 40 meters of extra chein for my Vancouver 25 that weits 3.2 Tons before extras such as food and people. im now in colombia and planing to sail around south pacific so iv been told to expect some strong winds and deep anchorages.
At the moment i have 15 meters of 5/16 which i dont no the spesification about but i think its good qwality becouse of how it looks.

Any body knows what should be the working load of the chein that im about to buy?

Thank you all
