I have 2 in my boat. The first is a Danforth style (weight unknown) with about 12' of chain and 200' of rope. The second is a navy style, 12 lb. with 6' of chain and 100' of rope. I think chain is incredibly important to keep the proper scope on the anchor rode. Blue water sailers often use all chain rodes.
