jay kay Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hi I bought a 23ft open Wilson flier yesterday I wondered what size anchor I need! Iv got a 5kg Bruce in my garage but imagine it might not be heavy enough? I'm think the boat probably weighs the best part of 750kg Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alun j. Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 That Bruce should be OK...... with a decent length of chain... about 8m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think that anchor would be OK in shallower waters with chain and plenty of warp out. But if going out deeper I would go up to a 7.5kg. Nice fishing platform, 23ft Open boat has a lot of space. I hope you have a much fun as I did on my Wilson Flyer 17 Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay kay Posted April 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks for the help guys. I don't expect I will venture to far for a while i need to get used to the boat for a while, it's about 6ft bigger than I'm used to!
