The combination of 250 ft of 5\/8\" line and 50 ft of 5\/16\" chain gives you both the scope to anchor safely in deeper anchorages and the catenary weight to keep the anchor lying flat and holding firmly. The 5\/16\" chain’s added mass and abrasion resistance make it the right choice for rocky or mixed-bottom anchorages where lighter chain would wear faster. Before ordering, confirm your windlass is rated for the combined weight — at ~36.6 kg this is a substantial rode.
