Why should you consider Anchoright studlink chain markers?
-
Save time and money – quick job for crew with no chain preparation required, easy fitting no fuss, no mess, no re-marking. Boats are reporting cutting chain marking times down by up to 90%. Get the crew on to the next job quickly!
-
Less hassle - there's no chain preparation needed and the markers can be fitted on deck without any mess. So even if you're not able to haul out all the chain, the markers can be fitted whilst on the water from the deck.
-
Less pollution - We estimate 24,000 litres of paint is used each year to paint superyacht chain, which all ends up in the sea. Our system reduces pollution in the sea as they won't flake off like paint, break off like cable ties.
The picture left is where the yacht had the chain painted and the paint has worn off after a few months. The markers are highly visible both day and night, due to the solas tape, and lasts much longer than the paint does.
TESTIMONIALS
Annabelle - Mate SY Unfurled - We have been extremely impressed with the markings we tested over the summer. They saved us a huge amount of time, as there was no need to prep and paint the chain. Installation was quick, simple and far more efficient than our usual process.
So far, the markers have held up really well and remain easily visible in day to day use. For anyone using them, I’d recommend placing 5+ markers at each section of chain to make identification even clearer.
Overall, they’ve been a great addition to our setup and were very happy with the performance so far.
Breno - First Officer M5 - The chain markers are definitely an improvement in the anchoring system. If it doesn't break, it is not bad for the environment, saves deck crew time of maintenance and saves money to the ownership. There is still a couple of improvements to make such as the reflective tape [Now solved - Anchoright] but overall after 2 months of heavy usage, we are happy with the markers just wishing we have installed in more links.

Colour schemes to suit your fancy
We can manufacture markers in a range of 8 colours and will make the set to suit whatever colour sequence you currently use. Alternatively we have recommendations for various lengths of chain (below) if you want to go with one of those.
Whatever sequence you use we do recommend you put a set of warning markers (Orange - black safety warning alternated) a short distance from the anchor as a starting point.
