Here's my $.02.
On Quartet I have, starting at the anchor, 60' chain, 150' nylon,
200' chain, and 400' nylon. The chain holds the anchor stock as flat
as possible. The nylon eases shock loads. In shallow, usually
crowded anchorages we are on all chain rhode. As the anchorage gets
deeper, we are on a combination of chain and nylon. The center piece
of chain acts as a deadman, holding the anchor stock down while the
nylon rhode eases shocks. The bitter end is attached to a cleat in
the chain locker so it can be released if necessary. Twice in 18
yeas we have had to toss the ground tackel overboard to get off the
anchor. Simply attaching a gallon milk bottle as a float to the
bitter end of the nylon allowed us to return when conditions
permitted to recover the line and anchor. I don't believe you could
easily find a float to allow the recovery of an all chain rhode.
