My boat is equipped with 200 feet of 5/16 chain and a Maxwell vertical windlass with a capstan above the gypsy. I would like to anchor in 60 feet of water this Summer and hope to add 200 to 250 feet for rope to the chain so that I have plenty of scope if needed (it's a huge anchorage with plenty of swing room that can get frightening squalls but no big waves). There's a huge amount of space in my rode locker so no worries about. I am pretty sure my the Maxwell gypsy I have does not do rope and chain, I think I need to switch to the capstan when I transition to rope. How does one handle this? Is it safe to assume I need to use a rope to chain splice?
