I do not have the complete thread.
Before making comments it would be nice to know the type of keel, the draft,
the prevailing wind the tides and the location. What is the reason to use a
four piles mooring in lieu of a single line mooring attached to a concrete
block or it equivalent? Is the four piles mooring attached to a float?

How about this (asuming wind from the right):

Put the engine in forward with not too much throttle, enough that B is
noticeably slack.

Walk forward and remove A and B.

The motor and C an D should hold the boat steady now.

Walk back.

Ease throttle, remove C.

Use throttle, rudder, and D to get boat in good position for backing
out, if needed.

Remove D while backing out.

If this works for you, it will be really easy to do if the wind is not
toooo strong, and work in reverse order for docking, too: Attatch D,
steady w/ motor, Then B, motor off, then the rest.

You can try first how your boat moves arond with trottle, tiller, and
an attatchment point with with all four lines or at least B and D on,
but not too tight. You will see which tighten, which slack, and where
the boat wants to go, without the risk of drifting into something.

I am looking for tested rope system allowing single-handed operations
from 4 pile mooring (including bad weather conditions). We have 26
feet yacht (keeler).
