Default pivot turn in a narrow area

Question about a pivot turn, is it possible to turn around a 29'
sailboat in a 40' wide area?
The only space available at a nearby marina are side ties and I'm
worried about whether I can actually dock there.
Before starting the turn the wind is at the stern. On the port side is
the marina wall and on the other is the dock. I don't think there's
much if any current affecting the slip.

The other option is docking with the stern to the wind and when leaving
backing up for 90 feet.
There are boats in front and behind this slip.

Thanks.
