We have a deep water port or two in the neighborhoods near me. It may have been Irene (last big hurricane to pass thru these parts) we had a tall ship docked out in Greenport looking for donations for repairs. With the approaching storm they did the most expedient thing to keep her safe: They sunk her at her pier till the storm passed, re-floated her when all was calm.

That would be a big job but certainly doable. If they could sink her in a shallow are to keep any engine room or electrical above the waterline all the better.

I have thought about this to put out an out of control fire aboard but the through hulls in most recreational sailboats are so small it would probably take several hours to sink. :)
