You simply row the anchor out and pull the vessel to it..... no
warps, no
muss, no fuss. Mind you a crewmember does come in handy unless you
are
prepared to run the anchor rode back to the cockpit winch to
facilitate
retrieval after raising sail. If you think out your situation you
can come
up with an effective method to achieve your goals.

Sounds like a lot of unnecessary work, to me.
