Besides, you seem to forget my fine yacht
has positive flotation. Even if it gets rolled over
a couple times I will be able to bale it out and
get under way again.

Positive floatation might come in handy, but with your mast hamering
against your hull, maybe holing it already, and gasoline floating on
top of the water in your cabin, and your outbord drowned and posibly
your gasoline poluted with seawater, I doubt it will be that simple.
Wheter at sea or close to the coast you might find yourself in deep
s... well in deep something.
