Yes, really, 10m intervals!
The first 35m was starting to get surface rust, to the point that rust was staining the foredeck. So I decided to end-for-end the chain.
But then, rather than have the stuff at the bottom of the chain locker get really rusty I treated it with rust converter. Then I read the label, which said best to paint after using the converter. So, rather than just paint the last 35m I figured I would paint all 92m. It was during the wet windy weather recently, I didn't have much else to do.....
I'm replacing the whole lot at next haulout, or before if the rust returns before then. I use a CruzPro chain counter, the colours are not really of any consequence for me.
