Rope Length: The conventional rule is to deploy 3-7 times the depth of the water plus the distance from the water to your bow. If the water is 10' and your bow is 5' above the water for a total of 15' and you deploy 7X you will have used 105'.
Chain Length: We recommend the longest chain length that you can comfortably handle. Important considerations are whether you will be using a windlass, the amount of storage space for rope and chain and the physical capabilities of the crew. Often suggested is to make the chain the same length as the boat.
