Do you think you could maneuver as handily in a full keeled sailboat with no
engine in an area like that or are you addressing this to dual screws and bow thrusters?? Until you can competently maneuver a boat under sail in tight areas.... making a claim of ability based on power driven propulsion falls short of having any bearing on the subject at hand. I've had the helm on some fairly large motor boats in my life and none proved to be very difficult to maneuver or place to a dock in any conditions.
