Consult our Anchoring System Assessmentto determine to determine the size and length of chain for your yacht and cruising intentions
Your anchor rode is only as strong as the weakest link so ensure that all your connectors and shackles are rated to the requisite break load
N.B.
It is very important to check the size and calibration of your gypsy or existing chain before you order.
If you are unsure we can help you to decide - we will take all reasonable steps to ensure you get the correct chain.
The simplest way to check that you are buying the correct calibration is to take a measurement from your existing chain, providing of course that it fits correctly.
We measure 10 links because, in practice, it is difficult to measure one link accurately enough.
The links should be laid out flat and pulled tight.
Measure from the outside edge to outside edge.

Calibrated Chain, How Jimmy Green can help
N.B. The measurement for an old chain may be a little longer than new due to a degree of wear and elongation in use.
The tolerance that your gypsy will accept will depend on the manufactuer and model.
For the specification on individual sizes and calibrations, please consult the relevant product information:

Jimmy Green Quality Control and Accountability
Every length of chain is checked and labelled with the manufacturer, the date received and a corresponding batch number when it arrives.
The batch number is then recorded at the point of sale.
Every chain order is therefore traceable and accountable to the manufacturer Test Certificate
A copy of the corresponding Lofrans Test Certificate is available with your order on request.
Lofrans Galvanising Advisory
Occasionally new chain may have little marks which look like the galvanising is missing.
However, hot dip galvanising is not a coating but a chemical fusion.
The process is explained in detail in this article: HOW GALVANISING WORKS
These flaws are therefore most likely caused by a tiny bit of impurity contamination in the galvanising process.
Lofrans attest that these blemishes will not have a detrimental affect on the effectiveness or longevity of the galvanising on their chain.
The picture below shows a single mark on this Lofrans galvanising:
- Chain Size - 8mm
- Chain Size - 10mm
