Challange: Ride Out Any Hurricane

Drop anchor at say 4:1 scope, move away from projected storm path and drop keel at 3:1 scope.

Yes, I'm serious, drop the keel. Assuming that the boat has a keel with bolts and some apparatus to wench the keel... Do you think this could be practical?

Just think how much buoyant weight would be taken off the boat and put on the bottom.
