I agree with the 35' for the Rocna but note that Fortress only recommends very short chain lengths as does Danforth. I would get 20 ft. and keep it easy to handle. 200ft. of nylon should be plenty for the Bay.

Thanks cam. Understand about the windlass. I don't have one now, and adding one would require significant mods to the anchor locker cover. However, I haven't ruled it out. Maybe something for next year, so I agree that I need to decide on that one. Also, thank for the pointer on the Fortress chain. Currently it only has like 6 feet, which is just not enough in my opinion no matter what the specs say.
