How many anchoring days/nights (not years) have you spent with your anchoring chain before the need to replace it?
In particular, *not* regalvanizing but having to replace it as link diameters were reduced to unsafe levels.
Which section of the chain?
Rough numbers, no need to be very very precise: 200? 2000?
In my case, 10mm chain, inverted head to tail once, oddily the central section is the most corroded (not the one near the anchor, which has lost galvanization by scrubbing the sea bottom but not the diameter), down to about 8mm, roughly about 5-600 nights
