Grip A new one-piece design
Designed to take the load of the ground tackle, a chain hook is something to be found on almost every cruising catamaran - it is tied to the end of a rope bridle, which is secured to the bows.

Once taken up, the bridle releases the load of the chain off the windlass and ensures better swinging in the anchorage. The latest generation of Wichard chain grips features a new one-piece design. Compared to previous chain hooks, the lug used to prevent the chain from coming out has been replaced by an L shape. This new range is available in 3 models for chain sizes from 8 to 12 mm. Forged in Duplex stainless steel, they offer excellent resistance to corrosion. Remember that the chain grip fits between two links and not through the middle of a link.
The three models:
| Ref. | Chain size | Length | Rope size in mm | Working load | Weight |
| 2994 | 8 mm | 85 mm | 17 | 480 kg | 88 g |
| 2995 | 10 mm | 103 mm | 22 | 720 kg | 156 g |
| 2996 | 12 mm | 125 mm | 24 | 960 kg | 287 g |
