Did the crew of LOKI have any other options?

30+ knots of wind and building with no rudder. And
they needed to weather a point to clear land.

#6 jib and two reefs in.

Would it be possible to sail upwind without a rudder?

Would a parachute type sea anchor have limited the
drift enough allow time for some daylight to view
other options?

I know Cam very well, he's an Etchells champ among others and when
Loki ended up on the beach I can assure you that every option was
explored with crew safety paramount.

Fancy deep fin and spade rudders..made to get ripped off.
