For Sale: Anyone in Ontario Canada want to share purchase of a barrel of chain

[tanton37]

Looking for someone who might be interested in sharing purchase of G43 5/16 HT chain from Titan? Barrel length is 550 ft. I only require 200. Let me know. Thanks.

Does your gypsy take 3/8 or 10mm? I would be interested. The titan website shows 8mm and 10 mm- I am assuming you need 10?

I’m in London.

[tanton37]

Nope...5/16" as previously posted. Sorry.

PM sent. I'm in Belleville. Actually in Quebec, but I would rather be in Belleville ;-)

To any of the interested parties who have reached out to me regarding the chain including those ho did so by private message....I will try to answer all questions here to save time.
1- I chose Titan over Maggi and Peerless /Acco based on reviews by Practical Sailor and anecdotal evidence gathered online from fellow boaters
2- I am located near Ottawa but would be willing to meet halfway to transfer your portion to you within reason
3- Sorry....I can't advise you as to how much chain your particular boat requires....too many variables....how much weight can you carry forward....where do you sail...etc.
4- Still waiting on a couple of suppliers to get back to me with pricing but so far quotes are coming in at between 4.25 and 4.75 per ft.

I will repost here when I have a firm offer in hand hopefully this week so stay tuned. Sorry too busy to answer all the PMs flooding in. In the meantime if anyone knows of a sweet deal on Titan chain, please let me know.
Cheers, David

Vendor CMP was able to supply me with my 200 ft length at reasonable cost so I am rescinding my offer to share in the cost of a full barrel. Thanks to all who expressed interest.
Cheers, David

Way to go David.
I'm glad this did not go any further. Good luck to you.
