Greenfield Products White Coated Anchor Chain, 5/16 in. X 5 ft, 2116-W
Greenfield Products White Coated Anchor Chain, 5/16 in. X 5 ft, 2116-W
The Greenfield Products 2116-W is a white PVC-coated anchor chain measuring 5/16 inch by 5 feet, built to keep an anchor riding in the correct position for a stronger hold on the bottom. Anchor chain is a key part of any anchoring setup: placed between the anchor and the anchor line (rode), it adds weight low in the system so the anchor sets and holds at the proper angle instead of skipping or dragging.
Greenfield applies a specially formulated, highly elastic PVC coating to the chain. This coating stretches as the chain flexes, so the chain bends and coils easily for storage in an anchor locker without the coating cracking or binding against the links. The white finish also keeps the chain from marking up gelcoat or deck surfaces during handling. For a complete anchoring connection, Greenfield recommends pairing this chain with steel shackles to join the anchor, chain, and line securely.
This chain is rated for boats anchoring in winds up to 30 knots. It ships at a weight of 4 pounds.
