While I respect Steves videos, in years of using a 60 pound Manson Supreme over12,000 cruising miles I have never had an issue with reversing currents or shifting winds in thunderstorms.
Some upwards of 2 knots...most boaters exaggerate current..... 2 knots is the highest daily normal, not storm, current in many anchorages from NJ to FL.
If it were more than 2 knots, I would have to ask why anchor there?
I suspect other reputable anchors don't have issues either.
Not that the test videos were faulty, just that Steve did his best to make them worst case scenarios.
I trust my home to my anchor, I was convinced it was inferior, I would change in a second.
