I think that chain to line ratio seems pretty standard, and the company is planning to be neutral, planning for ocean coves and lake uses. The appropriate ratio of the anchor rode to depth is about 7 to 1! I could pull out my reference books, but I think 7:1 is appropriate in many areas, subject to the weather and seas.
