Where is your cruising area??
In Response To: Anchor rode preferences... ()

For me in the PNW we anchor in mud with no coral and few rocks so some chain and mostly 8 plait rope works fine. For areas with coral reefs all chain is more attractive. All chain would go through your windlass with fewer chances of problems than a combination. I question having your boat anchor system using the windlass to secure the rode instead of a cleat or sturdy sampson post so you need to go forward anyway.
