Beneteau First 47.7 Boston
We just purchased a 47.7, and trying to replace the anchor chain. All I can see on the windlass is "Leroy Somer" and they seems to be out of the windlass business. Does anyone know what chains does the stock windlass gypsy accept? Will it work with Acco G43 3/8 chain? Or with G70 3/8?

Maksim,
Never heard of Leroy Somer. Some searching leads me to understand that they had a short 2000 to 2006 when Beneteau canceled the contract and Leroy Somer delivered all of the remaining parts to Beneteau.

Two Ideas: Contact Beneteau and ask, or get some sample chain segments and test the fit in your gypsy.

I did find this pdf file that may add to your info.
