[C320-list] Anchor Chain - Gauge and Length

When our old Maxwell 500 died, we replaced the 22 lb Bruce with a 15 kg
Rocna (which we love), installed (with effort) a Maxwell VW 10-8 windlass
and upgraded to 50 ft of 5/16" chain and 275 ft of 9/16 triple strand
nylon; both grab on the Maxwell VW 10-8 chain teeth. We cruise up in BC
(Desolation Sound, etc) and often have to anchor in 40-50 ft or more, but
even in shallower depths we put out all the chain and about 15 ft of rope
as shock absorber and then slide an 8 lb kellet ball 12 ft down the rope
for better catenary and so we don't trip on the line when the boat swings.
Along these lines, has anyone read a good analysis of what is recommended
scope for all-chain rodes? I'd think it's less than 5:1, but a friend dove
on an all chain set-up in noticeable but not strong winds and all the chain
was off the bottom, which I'd think negates some of the advantage of all
chain.
