I believe the spec on our new M4000 calls for 50m of chain. I think we've always had 40 or 50 meters on all the boats we've chartered through Sunsail/Moorings/Conch.

Yes it’s always been like that, maybe they’re now increasing the amount due to the lack of available mooring balls but it still wouldn’t work in the mooring fields where you would need a second anchor with enough scope to control your swinging
