same configuration here. The dock is actually shorter than the boat. And I
use very similar technique. Most of the times it works.

docking
Which is all well and good if your dock has a piling or some other way of
getting a midships springline onto it. My dock is a low, short finger, when
the boat is in the slip the stern is just about to the end of the finger so
no way to drop a springline over a dock cleat as I come in singlehanded.
I just have to wing it, drive in with enough way on to allow steerage, quick
blast of reverse to tuck the stern in and stop any forward motion(dock is to
port with reverse giving me a port walk), step off and throw the docklines
over my cleats like a hero. Usually. Gets more interesting with the
current and/or wind blowing you away from the dock of course, haven't got
that one nailed quite yet (first year with an inboard) but fortunately don't
have a boat in the adjoining slip so there is always a plan B, however
untidy it looks.
Cheers,

Key to difficult docking situations is a midships spring line. If you drop a
short spring on a piling you can run against it and snug up to the dock
under power either way and under sail going downwind.
