I just wanted to see how much everyone else has. Any ideas on what it takes to store the maximum amount would be appreciated.

We had 300-ft of 1/2" 3-strand rode plus 30-ft of 1/4" chain, and that about filled it below the windlass. Switched to 1/2" 8-plait line and now have 600-ft of rode plus 30-ft of 1/4" chain. Works great. Brian
