After losing my anchor and chain last fall, I'm looking for 50' of 5/16th HT chain, and am trying to get a better price than the WM $4.25 a foot. Most of the stuff I am seeing sold on eBay comes from China. One seller claims that almost all chain is sourced from China these days, and that quality control is much better than just a few years ago. I have a hard time believing that, but have no data to back up that assumption. Does anyone have any experience with/knowledge of this?
Does anyone know of a source for US made chain, or is WM my only bet? Defender is a little less but shipping to the West Coast negates any savings in the price per foot.
A good night's sleep at anchor is worth paying a little more, but with so much of what we buy coming from China I wonder if my assumptions are outdated?
