SS chain has a lower WLL and is a bit more brittle than galvanized high test (G40)

I have witnessed a SS anchor chain snap before my own eyes and helped dealing with the emergency to save the boat (not an amel) from the lee shore in the swell of the marquesas and that kind of put me off SS chain. Admittedly the chain was oldish (10y) and the conditions tough.

What you need is a big wallet and 100 meters of Cromox 10mm (made by Ketten Wålder, https://www.ketten-waelder.de/en/) 😂
