[Sentoa] All Chain Rode

[Richard Moore]

I installed 300' of 5/16 bbb chain for our most recent trip to Alaska.  
In addition, I put 100' of line to give me 400' total.  I had used 115' 
of chain plus 300' of line previously.  Since I have a fairly heavy 
dinghy on the stern, the extra weight on the bow worked out perfectly.  
There is plenty of room in the chain locker.  It has never fouled on us.

Let me know if you need any more information.
