WOAH!
1/2" chain and 1-1/4" rope on a 39' Joshua !
WE cruised for years and years on a 39' Ingrid with all 3/8" and found that to be ideal. 1/2" is heavy ! 1-1/4" is ridiculous !
Try out 3/8" chain and 5/8" rope. OR all chain.
The shovel splice will be fine considering how eversize the gear is for that boat. I was thinking we were talking 80-100' boat with the sizes you were talking earlier....
