At the moment I have 25 meters of anchor chain, no rode, that is handled by a Lofran ‘Royal’ manual windlass. I wish to extend this length by at least 30 meters plus another 30 meters rode.
So, my stupid questions are:
1) How do I measure the gauge of chain already on the boat – such as 5/16 etc? I don’t know what it is at the moment.
2) Can I tell if the chain is calibrated or not? If yes – How?
3) What is the best/easiest way of connecting the two chains together to give me one length?
Thanks in Advance
