Could you explain how that would be done, then I'll go away. And does not
turning the boat around while at a mooring constitute sailing backward into
the breeze, 1 boat-length specifically.

You know, the name calling really isn't called for. You state that
flying a
spinnaker would only work if moored to the aft. I agree. However, do
you
believe that it is at all possible for a bow-moored boat to be
be turned around by a spinnaker, or any other combination of sails for
that matter, so that the aft end travels upwind?


Yes with a great deal of effort and coordinated use of sails and
tiller you could turn the boat around.
No, you could not make it sail backward into the breeze.

Now go away, you're boring me.
