You want to turn your single engine sailng yacht
around in a narrow channel with a very strong current
behind you. There may not be sufficient room to
overcome the headway due to the current.

Related question. You are single handed and have to enter your slip with a
very strong current behind you. Backing down to slow and stop, coupled with
the current's catching your stern, will throw your stern to port and
possibly make it hit the boat to port before you can get a stern line
across. How do you get into the slip with least chance of damage to the
adjacent boat?

You could try backing into the slip.
