If you have a chain-spliced to rope rode, jamming may become more of an issue. Making sure the splice is done correctly and that the windlass gypsy takes both chain & rope - will minimize instances of this inevitability. We lost 150 feet of 5/16" G4 and our 35# CQR last year, due to an inferior splice my supplier/rigger made, that jammed in the gypsy. With all chain and a new CQR now, we've not had any jamming.
