Great thread. Thanks all for posting. I do like the idea of trying to heave-to to assess the situation; the emergency tiller may be held in place (to leeward) by using winches. If you can anchor, even better! Stop, assess, plan, execute. Repeat this 100 times…

Create a checklist while you are sitting on dry land and have it laminated. Checklists help us organize thoughts under stress and ensure that our flawed memories don't miss steps.

Once you create several such checklists you can put them in a quick reference handbook.
