    I have a 36' Albin Trawler (1979).
    I bought a Light house windlass and 200' of 3/8 HT chain.
    Even with full water tanks, my bow is somewhat low in the water.
    I mostly gunkhole the Chesepeake bay, with an average anchorage of 10'
    of water.
    Should I cut the chain in half and stow half in the rear laz? Is there
    any reason that I can not add a shackle in the future if I want the
    additional 100 foot (or, if we decide to cruise to deeper water)?

    Thanks much for your input.

    Bob
