    High Test chain vs other types: Still seems the weak link is the Anchor
    shackle. Working load seems to be below the working loads of the various
    chains. Would stainless quicklinks be better? Can they be safety wired or is
    it necessary. Can only find breaking strength for the ss quick links. Other
    than being higher, what is the relationship between working load and
    breaking strength. Would 1/3 be more or less a constant?
