We need to replace our anchor chain before heading down to Falkland islands and Patagonia. Do any OCC members know how easy or difficult it is to get certified grade 40 galvanised anchor chain (preferably 11mm) in Argentina? Is it imported or produced somewhere in South America? Would it be easier to purchase in Uruguay? Hoping someone can help - we searched Brazil for quality anchor chain but it does not exist.
