Anchors and rode sized for near-gales only..?

I think a yacht like this has about 200 meters of anchor chain which should help the anchors to sustain even a hurricane. But if it is shallow and you just have half or less of the chain out, it could be harder for the anchors when the yacht is bouncing on the surface and lifting all of the chain.

And if one goes, the other will soon go as well...
