Ralph,
All kidding aside, for safety reasons one should have an anchor on board. Your i-Pilot may be wonderful but anything mechanical/electrical can fail and if the wind is pushing your boat towards a rocky shoreline being able to toss an anchor out can prevent some serious damage to your boat or worse. Been there and done that, and was grateful that the anchor held.
