Try serafini chain at Bowen hills
best quality by far although some have complained that the Link sizes are little small for some standard gypsies
I have not found that though

I know the guys at PWB pretty well and I seriously doubt they would produce chain that would rust so quickly.
I know guys with PWB chain that is 20 years old!!
Did it have PWB marks on it?
I do know of inferior chain being sold as PWB

Yes it was stamped PWB I always like to get the certificate with breaking and working loads when I buy chain , Whitworths look at you like your off the planet when you ask , I have no doubt PWB would supply them .
serafini Have no trouble supplying it.
No use guessing your chain MIGHT hold you in a storm Tested is hedging the bet

Interesting.
If I were you I'd take a pic and email PWB, they'd be happy to know if their chain wasn't holding up.

I'm curious to know the problem here. Having just replaced my chain with a (relatively) cheap galvanised chain, because the old chain got crusty, rusty and jammed, I can understand the need for the chain to run smoothly through the windlass. However, how many times has a chain actually broken verses how many times an anchor has dragged because it has not set properly? If you run on the sound principle of spending the money on where the risk is, how do the risks compare?

Once the chain thickness is reduced to a point where the strength reduction becomes an issue, it is time to replace it.
imo

we have recently replaced our 10mm G30 with high quality lofrans 8mm G40
