Mark:
You said ".... my stern still goes to starboard swinging me the wrong
way." Seems you are having more of an issue with a cross wind blowing
your bow to port (I am assuming bow in, starboard dock?) shifting stern
to port.
A club mate here has a 40' some boat with the same issue with his slip
(bow in, starboard slip)....what he did was run a line on the slip
between the two far end dock cleats....on the line was a block attached
to 8 or 10 feet on line, When he leaves the dock, usual his wife stands
on the bow with the line in her hand and as he backs out, she holds the
line with just the right tension to keep the bow parallel, the block
runs down the line, and she walks back the deck with the line until she
longer needs it....throws it on the dock.
But this only works if you have a crew mate.

Ladies and sea dogs,
Just when I think I have the reversing thing nailed, I lose the bow
even in little to no wind. I have a right handed prop and should prop
walk to port.
I have to reverse out of my slip into a narrow channel attempting to
steer my stern to port. Often enough my stern still goes to starboard
swinging me the wrong way.
Should I pull out of dock faster ...??? I know I should not put full
rudder
Early reviews of my boat suggest avoiding reverse - not an option
Anny help would be a delight otherwise I have to continue bruising the
bow to starboard and the stern to port with boat hook pushing and pulling.
