First time poster/user. I have a 2001 Beneteau 361, previous owner purchased
anchor with 20' BBB 5/16 chain and 150' 5/8 3 strand
line. I'm now looking for a
windlass. Appears the Maxwell freedom 800 and the
Lewmar V2 or Concept 1 are good choices, but manufacturers sites say 5/16 chain must be HT (G4?) not BBB. (One suggested "sending" him the chain and he'd test, which sounds a bit much). Can I try the setup I have for a season and see how I do (light cruising, for now). Does BBB really "not work" or is it just "not ideal?" Thanks. Glad I found this site.
