The real reason a lot of people like G4 high-test chain is that it is lighter and allows them to carry more chain, rather than less. On most boats, the
anchor rode locker is fairly far forward and having a large amount of weight there can adversely affect the performance and balance of the boat.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
