More chain, or warp?

Hi Ken,
Right, it was another blue Twister then. Clutch of 3 there this winter.
Setting off for the boat now, but might be going to Port Solent for launch of a club members boat Wed if you want to look at the chain- thats if Mo doesn't swipe it for his fettled Jouster!

I'd go for more chain and a join, once the join looks horrible replace it. I like loads of chain and currently have 80m which I want to add to. Not because I'm daft, well maybe, but I like to be able to anchor in deeper water.
 
Surprised that you have not already got any anchor plat on the chain, it helps if you have to (temporary) ditch your anchor as a buoyed rope floats!

Questions to ask yourself are:
How often have you used all your chain.
How would it affect the boat with another 20mtrs of chain in the nose.

If 'twas me I would splice on 30mtrs of rope.
If you go for extra chain, you can cut a link open and have it welded back together, much stronger than a joining link.
