Clearly not in this case. Safer anchored in the lee of an island or other stretch of land the offers protection from the wind, along with proper deployment of ground tackle.
I spent a lot of time on a WWII-era tin can, off of Cape Hatteras in storm conditions. That's no damn fun. Sailing a tall ship from CT to FL, knowing that storm is coming at you, is shear stupidity. That ship should've stayed in port.
