Your anchor chain is the critical link between your boat and the seabed, and its reliability is non-negotiable. It’s the piece of gear that lets you rest easy, knowing your vessel is secure. That’s why we stock a massive range of marine-grade anchor chains, links, and connectors right here in Australia.
From general-purpose galvanised chains for your weekend runabout to premium stainless steel options for offshore cruising, you’ll find the right equipment to build a dependable anchoring system. We have everything you need to keep your boat exactly where you want it, no matter the conditions.
For most trailer boats and day cruisers, a quality general-purpose anchor chain gets the job done perfectly. Our selection includes Grade L short link galvanised chains, a popular choice known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and durability. This type of chain is tough enough for everyday use and offers solid protection against corrosion.
If you run a drum winch or windlass, you’ll need a calibrated chain to get a smooth, jam-free retrieval. We offer DIN766 calibrated galvanised chains that are precisely manufactured to match the gypsy on your winch, giving you consistent performance every time you drop or raise the anchor.
When your boating adventures take you to more demanding environments or you’re anchoring a heavier vessel, stepping up to a heavy-duty solution is a smart move. Our heavy-duty galvanised chains are built to withstand serious punishment from rough seabeds and harsh weather.
The hot-dip galvanising process applies a thick, protective zinc coating that fights off rust and corrosion for years. These short link chains are calibrated for windlass compatibility, providing reliable strength for bigger anchors. For on-the-spot repairs or custom configurations, we also stock galvanised chain split links, allowing you to quickly and securely join chain sections without needing specialised tools.
For the ultimate in longevity and a sharp, clean look on your bow, you can’t go past 316-grade stainless steel. A stainless steel anchor chain offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion, making it the premier choice for saltwater environments and for boaters who demand the best.
It maintains its strength and polished finish season after season, making it a sound long-term investment. To maintain that integrity throughout your ground tackle, we also provide matching 316-grade stainless steel joining links and C links, so every component in your system is built to the same high standard.
If you don’t want to figure things out manually, our pre-made rope and chain kits make it simple. These kits come with a specified length of high-quality rope professionally spliced to a section of anchor chain, giving you the perfect combination for most anchoring situations.
You get the abrasion resistance of the chain near the anchor and the shock-absorbing properties of nylon or double braided rope. It’s a convenient, ready-to-install solution that saves you time and effort.
Your anchor chain is only as strong as its weakest link, which is why choosing the right connectors is so important. We stock a full range of joining hardware to suit any setup. You’ll find 316-grade stainless steel joining links and C links for creating strong, corrosion-free connections in stainless systems.
For galvanised chains, our galvanised split links are the go-to for secure joins and repairs. These small but mighty components provide the peace of mind that your ground tackle is connected securely from the anchor right back to the boat. Combining these with tools like boat anchor chain markers creates a complete, easy-to-manage system.
