There's nothing that's going to be perfect, and it will be less so
when conditions are worse. You didn't mention prevailing wind
direction. Assuming from the bow to stern... but I don't
think either tying up or releasing is going to be easy/simple or
possibly not even doable single-handing in boisterous conditions.

You might be able to rig something to pay out line, but there's no way
you're going to be able hold the boat well with just the lines.

Why would you want to do such a thing?
