Product details

Please note that this anchor chain is only available from a minimum length of 50 m!

If the base is already superlative

The anchor chain for discerning boaters with respectable performance characteristics.

This anchor chain is made of high-strength special steel and then hot-dip galvanised. It ensures a tensile strength of 70 kg / mm² and offers twice the breaking load compared to conventional chains with the same weight. The carrying capacity and loads are comparable to those of lifting chains.
Diagram strength - deformation

1: Grade 7, 2: Grade 4, 3: Grade 3

In the diagram, the breaking load of grade 7 is shown
(the example given concerns chains with a diameter of 8 mm and a breaking load of more than 7000 kg)
in contrast to the breaking loads of grade 3 and grade 4.

The technology

This anchor chain is made by experts with a know-how for products that exceed usual market standards, with greater reliability and performance. The chain is not only limited to statutory requirements for calibrated anchor chains (grade 3), but goes even further, with increased mechanical performance. With a breaking strength of grade 70, it achieves a strength that far exceeds normal standards.

A longer chain but the same weight

The higher breaking load of this chain means that a smaller diameter provides the same mechanical resistance as a conventional chain with a larger diameter. This means that it is possible to choose a much longer chain, without increasing the weight in the chain locker.

Comparison of chain length with same weight:

Diameter (grade 3 chain) Length (grade 3 chain) Diameter (grade 7 chain) Achievable length (grade 7)
10 mm 100 m 8 mm 160 m
12 mm 100 m 10 mm 140 m
13 mm 100 m 10 mm 170 m
13 mm 100 m 12 mm 120 m
14 mm 100 m 12 mm 130 m
14 mm 100 m 13 mm 115 m
16 mm 100 m 14 mm 135 m

Are you looking for a lighter chain?

Do you have too much weight at the bow and want to make the ship lighter while maintaining the resistance of the chain and the length of the chain ends? This anchor chain is the solution!

Comparison of weight with the same length:

Length of the chain cord Diameter (grade 3 chain) Weight (grade 3 chain) Diameter (grade 7 chain) Weight (grade 7 chain)
100 m 10 mm 230 kg 8 mm 140 kg
100 m 12 mm 330 kg 10 mm 230 kg
100 m 13 mm 390 kg 10 mm 230 kg
100 m 13 mm 390 kg 12 mm 330 kg
100 m 14 mm 440 kg 12 mm 330 kg
100 m 14 mm 440 kg 13 mm 390 kg
100 m 16 mm 610 kg 14 mm 440 kg

Are you looking for a less voluminous chain?

Do you want to reduce the volume of the chain, while keeping the same length and resistance? You can with the grade 7 chain.
Comparison:

Length of the chain cord Diameter (grade 3 chain) Volume (grade 3 chain) Diameter (grade 7 chain) Weight (grade 7 chain)
100 m 10 mm 86 dm³ 8 mm 50 dm³
100 m 12 mm 120 dm³ 10 mm 86 dm³
100 m 13 mm 150 dm³ 10 mm 86 dm³
100 m 13 mm 150 dm³ 12 mm 120 dm³

High Strength Anchor
Very good service and a suprime chain with breaking load above 10t. A litle long lead time - but I guess that is as a result of ordering special length.

Great chain, long time.to deliver
Out of the box the chain looks quality. Very nicely galvanised and well finished.
The manufacturer took 3 MONTHS to deliver to SVB, and twice they changed the delivery date. SVB delivery was excellent being only 4 days, they turned it around and shipped the same day they received it from the manufacturer.
5 stars for quality and SVB customer service, 1 star to the manufacturer for a ridiculous lead time.

The chain will only be used in April.

General question

I am enquiring about your G 7 chain. I would be looking for 100 meters at 10mm. I need a new gypsy so I don’t care if the product is Din766 (22904) or ISO 818 (22093). Is there any difference in availability between the 2 different chains ? Your literature shows these chains are made by MF. Thanks for your time.

Hi! I’d like to buy 8 mm high stregth anchor chain 22902. I have a Lewmar Concept 1 windlass (1999). Its specifications are 8 mm DIN 766 / ISO. My present chain measurements are 8x22(or 23)x24 mm (d x t x b). Your chain is 8 x 24 x 26 mm. Do You think the 22902 chain works for my windlass?
