MacBoy, this is the most intelligent thing you've said so far.
Since the Mac will not be controllable during a squall, then
your only hope for survival would be to hunker down below.
I'm hopeful you won't wet your pants more than a couple of
times.

I wouldn't bother with the anchors, however, since you're
unlikely to be able to grab 100 miles offshore.

In the event of a squall coming so fast that I can't outrun it, I think
I'll put out a couple of anchors and douse the sails, go below, and
enjoy riding out the storm with a Margarita or two. Maybe take a nap.
