Deep Anchoring Question

[Bash]

Marvelous Mark, my hypothetical friend, has been recruited to serve as a Marshall boat at the Americas Cup competitions in SF Bay in August. He has been instructed to be prepared to anchor in water as deep as 100' in up to 30 kts of wind.

Marvelous Mark, who is more a racer than a cruiser, has two rodes. His primary has 40' of chain backed up by 200' of nylon, and his secondary has 30' of chain backed up by 150' of nylon. He wants to combine these two rodes to serve for his Americas Cup lunch hook, but he's wondering whether it would be best to attach them nylon-to-nylon, thus reversing the secondary rode, or whether it would be better to attach the secondary's chain to the primary's nylon so that it serves as a kellet.

Marvelous Mark has a lovely electric winch, by the way, a vertical Maxwell.
