Funny, there doesn't seem to be much discussion of scope, however.  This 
week I anchored a 5 boat raft (3 A30s and 2 bigger boats) in Baby Owl 
Cove on one of those Danforth knockoffs that came with so many of the 
A30s.  Even with only 6 feet of chain on that anchor, I felt perfectly 
secure with a 7 to 1 scope.

I've got a 25 pound CQR with a bigger chain, but I doubt it'll get used 
before I come up with a satisfactory bow-roller arrangement.
