Wow
I love that - that is most the time that I have crew.... however Yes I
single hand a lot also and have some deft dancing to make it work. The
crazy this is that it does not do it all the time. It is tidal and the
other thing might be that I need to increase my speed to account for the
direction and speed of the current ...

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.
