That all sounds quite good Yann. We usually anchor our OT 38 with about a 50lb anchor with 35m of chain and maybe 50m of warp. In evil conditions we put the whole lot out, if space will allow. We almost always put out all the chain, and have the warp over the bow roller (as it is quieter). We do like to stay in place when anchored, even if the wind comes up. If you experience very poor holding, you might like to add a different kind of anchor to your equipment list, so you have a choice. Some shapes definitely work better in one particular bottom than others. Experiment and see how you get on. Good luck.
