Planing on a trip North to the Whitsunday.
Boat is 27 foot and has a dry weight of 2300kg and is without a winch.
Currently have a 7kg plough anchor (generic type) with 10 metres of 6mm chain, plus 48 metres of 12 mm braided nylon rope.
On my research I have found significant differences in anchor weights for a 27 foot boat. One website says 7 kg, but the Manson guide says you need 12 kg.
