Lemondrop is a 2019 R27-OB and has 100ft of chain with 230 ft of 8 plait rode and it fits.
I think you’d be ok with 300ft of 8 plait rode on 50’ of chain. It’ll probably be tight. It’s not a very big locker.
The boat comes with 200ft of 8 plait rode with 50’ of 5/16th chain.
Martin,
Very interesting. I was under the impression from the literature that it came with 150/50. I just went out and measured it and you are correct. 200/50 but 3 strand rope? I guess they need to update their literature.
Thank you for your response. I very much appreciate your knowledge on all things tug.

Out here in the Pacific Northwest, I've been fine with the 50' of chain and 200' of rode. I've anchored in as deep as 95' with 18' tide swings. Most of the time I target 20-45' depths with up to 16 foot tide swings. The Rocna10 is way better than the Lewmar Claw that the boat comes with. Our anchorages are often soft or hard mud. I do highly recommend a bridle for overnight anchoring.
Thank you Martin. We have decided to go with the factory 200' and the Rocna 10 based on all the reviews and research I have done. I do have a 300' auxiliary anchor line if ever needed.
Next upgrade will be Starlink.
Thanks again for your help and knowledge.
