anchor chock, / Hanger

Looking for an anchor hanger for our 23.5 . I saw one in the store here designated for a 260 . Not sure if they are interchangable or not . Stormy weekend in Ohio not much sailing . Pop top works great . Mike

If the 23.5 is like my 240 it has a molded slot in front of the anchor locker to fit an anchor roller- have you considered adding a roller instead of a rail hanger? It helps a lot when retrieving the anchor, and the anchor stores on the roller. It is more work to install- you need to drill and tap 3 bolt holes- my 240 had an aluminum plate molded in the slot for this purpose, but you can also access from below to use washers/nuts. I used a Windline URM-2 roller (2" channel width), I think that will fit the 23.5 also.

Caverun;

The 23.5 does not have the slot for an anchor roller. FYI. One thing to be considered when hanging an anchor off a bow rail, you have to make sure the sail does not entangle with it or it could rip for example when tacking the jib switches from side to side so do not pull it in or drag it over with the jib sheet so hard.
