I just ordered a new anchor rode from Cajun Ropes. It is 1/2" in 100' double braid nylon. From all of the reviews that I have seen it is really good stuff. The total was just under 1 boat unit ($100). I also ordered some green whipping twine to mark the anchor rode. The rode comes with a stainless steel eye spliced into it.
I will let you know what I think of it when it arrives.
Hey HeaveToo:
That is .1 BU. Try not to confuse the pursers.

I may be wrong, but I think "Boat Units" very exponentially with the size of the boat. HeaveToo was likely referring to the smallest commonly recognized BU.
