Eric-- Under typical conditions around here we use a 5:1 scope with all-chain rode. If it's forecast to get a little windy, particularly if there is enough fetch upwind to allow the buildup of waves, we'll let out to a 7:1 or even more. But we rarely have to use more than 5:1 although we'll sometimes use more than that to set the anchor and then move back in.
