Hello everyone.
We are purchasing a Selene 40 (51,000 pounds )and are planning to replace the anchor chain. Currently it has 300 feet of 5/16th. We are planning to replace that with 3/8th HT.
My question is how many feet of chain do I really need to buy?
We enjoy being out on anchor and did so many times with our previous boat. It was 44 Sundeck Motor yacht with only 125 feet of chain. We completed the loop with that boat and only once were not equipped to anchor.
We will be spending the bulk of our travels on the east coast NJ to Florida plus Bahamas.
Do we need to replace the existing 300 feet of 5/16th with 300 feet 3/8. ?
Thank you.
Probably many more questions ahead !
