As I said previously I would go a good deal longer on the snubber, since you probably don't want to have to retreive the anchor chain to remove the chain hook to let out more scope in a storm.
I would make the snubber a minimum of 50' long working length, which means a minimum of 100' of rope.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
