[quote=Dogboy]If your boat is on a trailer and you're planning to evacuate, then take the boat with you if possible. That would be the best option.
Otherwise, I would definitely remove the tramp at a minimum. Take the mast off and lay it flat on the ground so it doesn't get snapped in half by falling tree limbs. Strip as much gear off the boat as possible and store inside. One of the last hurricanes we had, I actually completely disassembled the boat and stored it in the house. Ground anchors are a good idea. If possible, I would tie heavy rope onto a cinder block and bury the block and use that as a ground anchor. That's how we always secured our boat on the beach. Putting a little water in the hulls for ballast is probably OK too as long as you don't go overboard and stress the hulls.
