344. On stud-link anchor chain, how much does the addition of the stud increase the strength of the link?
The addition of a stud to an anchor chain link increases its strength by approximately 15% compared to an equivalent open link, as stated in standard seamanship references and USCG exam guidance. The stud braces the link, reducing distortion and spreading the load more evenly, preventing kinking and piling, and stiffening the link against bending under tension. This 15% increase is the accepted value for exam purposes, differentiating it from the other options.
