the length should be 8 times the depth of the deepest water you are planning to anchor in.
The length of chain between the shackles of a ships anchor chain is 90 feet.
An anchor is a heavy object from a ship attached to along length of chain to hold the ship in one place.

"Anchor gypsy" is a term usually associated with boating and refers to a type of anchor chain arrangement that helps to secure the boat in place. It consists of a length of chain attached to the anchor to provide weight and stability. The chain is often stored in a locker or compartment called a gypsy on the boat.
The length of anchor chain can vary depending on the specific type and manufacturer. However, a common size for anchor chain is 1 shot, which typically equals 15 fathoms or 90 feet. Therefore, 9 shots of anchor chain would be 9 times 90 feet, totaling 810 feet.

1 Shackle = 15 fathoms or 90 feet.
To determine how many shackles of anchor chain are in the water, you first need to measure the length of the chain that is deployed. One shackle is typically 15 fathoms (or 90 feet). By dividing the total length of the chain in the water by 90 feet, you can calculate the number of shackles. For example, if 180 feet of chain is in the water, there are two shackles deployed.
When you drop anchor, your boat should be moving (drifting perhaps).
