I run two 8lb danforth types with 4 feet of stainless chain, and 100 ft of line each.

I have a 20 pound "navy style" for the bow and a 12 pound "navy style" I use to keep the stern off the beach.
No need for chain with these.

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.

I agree about the chain for most anchors, but I have yet to need it with that 20 pounder. But we have mostly sand around my area of coastal pleasure. And 100 ft would be the deepest I would anchor.
