FWIW, in 1987, I bought some ACCO chain that was especially made for Simpson
Lawrence windlasses - in my case, the Sea Tiger manual winch. The chain is
labeled "SL" and is BBB (3B) High Test (HT) chain. If they still make it,
this chain is the best of both worlds as it has the handling characteristics
of BBB and the strength of HT. A similar, but not identical chain is now
prescribed by many windlass manufacturers - G40. My SL chain fits the
Lofrans BBB gypsy perfectly.
