Hey All:

Found this info regarding CHAIN to LINE splice. The author says taper
splice can give 85%+ connection.

Would ya all read it over and referee it for me. I am still skeptical
of this connections under actual anchoring stormy conditions. i.e.
jerk n yank. ON the other hand, maybe its time to step into the twenty
first century.....
