What is the best way to get your boat into its slip?
Discuss your thoughts on planning this. [1 pt]
Given: Modern, relatively flat bottomed, single engine
aux 40' sailboat, fin keel, skeg hung rudder, RH two
blade feathering screw, and a wind speed 15 knots
and building.

Realize you don't always get what you want, at least not necessarily
when you want and so: go into the slip bow first; have a beer or take
a nap, or both, waiting for the wind to shift or die; then back out
and turn around and back into the slip later.

Alternatives: You don't posit in your "Given" that the wind aligned
with the length of the slip will not enable patiently allowing that
wind simply blow the boat backward also aligned with the slip; and
nothing you posit as a "Given" above appears to suggest that using the
motor briefly to obtain steerage ability from an angle that would
account for whatever if any prop walk they may be after shifting into
forward as a brake would undermine backing in pretty much as always.
