I have a friend who lives in Maine, on the water in a sheltered bay, who had a 10,000 lbs, granite block mooring drag with his boat attached to it, during a summer storm micro burst.
I agree, there is no perfect anchor.
I use a 55 lb. SuperMax for daily anchoring and I’m happy with it. But... and this is a important, I also carry a Fortress, a Danforth, another Danforth with sharpened flukes, and a original Ronca, purchased years ago when they first came out( all stored in the lazarette since the little DeFever, like all DeFevers, needs weight in the stern)
I also carry 250 feet of extra G-4 ACCO chain as well as 250 ft. of 5/8 3 strand line.
I would still run for the most protected harbor/marina if I had time. I try to make sure I have time.
