Yes, if you are going to take strain on a Sampson post it needs to be really meaty, and go all the way to the deck, but most importantly be braced agains the pulpit like this I think...

Certainly I never have a moment's worry about the strength of my anchoring gear. It's one of the best features of the boat, and there aren't too many of them, when I think about it.
