I have a question regarding your anchoring setup. How do you maintain the strength of the G7 chain through your shackle attachment to the Bruce? Do you have ACCO install an oversized link and use, say, a 5\/8&quot; shackle? Or do you have a source for high-test shackles? I am building a 19m powercat designed by Malcolm Tennant to be launched early &#8217;06. See you in Patagonia! Thank you, Bill<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p>Hi Bill: Matching the chain strength requires a high-strength shackle rather than one of mild steel (and never stainless). These are not always available in galvanized&#8211;so you have to put up with some rust.<\/p>\n<p>We have ACCO supply the chain with oversized links on both ends, which accommodates the shackle.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve found that a shackle with appropriate pin diameter for the breaking strength of the System Seven chain usually fits the large Bruce anchors without problem. &#8211; Steve<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Steve Dashew, Many thanks for the fine web postings on the new powerboat.
