I will start with only rope. 50' 5/16" with a nylon thimble and stainless shackle. I may cut that shorter at some point, depending on what I figure out for the necessary rode ratio. On my pontoon, I'm good with 3:1 in even choppy conditions (I've marked every ten feet with Sharpie to know exactly what I'm at). I have 4' of chain on those two.
My experience with my previous dinghy anchor is that 3:1 with only rope was sufficient. If so, I'll stick with that as it'll be easier to only have rope.
BTW, it was waiting for me at camp, so if anyone wants a pic or wants to see it in action, lemme know.
