As an initial guide in moderate conditions, what scope is commonly taught for all-chain cable?
Short answer
4:1
About 4:1 is a common all-chain starting guide, calculated from maximum bow-roller-to-seabed depth. It is not a universal minimum: bottom, wind, sea, stream, vessel, equipment guidance and swinging room can require more cable or another anchorage. Revise Anchoring Technique.
