Default anchor retrieval while single handing

I'm very confident that the chain is European. I can see the logic in
what you say, and it will be something I should consider for my eventual
(inevitable?) visit to US.


When it comes time to update, take a piece of chain, say 500mm, and match
it to the gypsy before purchase.

No point in making life miserable of either.

While chain is machine made and therefore should be consistent in quality
throughout its length, if you plan to use it on a winch you should, as Lew
has already stated, ensure that it fits your gypsy but should also include
the word 'calibrated' in your order otherwise you will have no come-back if
the chain will not run right through its length without jamming at some
point.
