Default Calling a spade a Spade (was about chain)

Actually I have no real complaint about the 35# CQR other than I prefer
the SPADE and want to swap for one. The A100 is rated for up to 52'
boats and i'm always in sand on Lake Superior. I have never dragged and
have a Fortress and Gaurdian for storm, although I'm not wild about them
because they don't seem to want to reset as well when the wind/tide changes.

Also, I like the lighter weight because it's easier on the windlass when
I use it and i can pull it up fairly easily by hand if I want. And my
Monk is bow heavy with a genset and any pounds I can take of that end of
the boat is an improvement.

So my stainless 35# CQR is still for sale.
