Any steering or propulsion failure close enough to shore for the winds to push the boat aground in a couple of hours is not the time to wave off assistance hopping to n--r rig something... It is a true emergency.

So when things go wrong, drop the anchor. At some time or place that Anchor will grab n' hold.
Then you can work on the problem when the weather goes down.
