You could always buy some from a chandlers ( a boat accessory shop) or if you want cheap stuff go to B&Q. Jimmy Green is competitive on price. Alternatively try the internet

That is shorter than the 90 meters I would consider a minimum. Can't anchor in 40m of water with 30m of line.

I have 50m of 12mm anchor plait + 6m of 8mm chain. That seems to cover most situations. Good for anchoring in 10-15m of water.

Here is a 40m x 14mm if that helps. I’m in the US though… not sure it makes sense cost wise to ship.
