Assuming an inboard with a right hand prop, you could accomplish this in a
number of ways.
1.With help from a "fwd, after spring" and some creative line handling.
2.By "springing" out then backing off and doing a pivot turn (made harder by
the fact you will be bringing the bow through the wind).
3. Just back her up the 90 feet into the wind ( most boats like to back into
the wind which simplifies control when backing into it.)

Question about a pivot turn, is it possible to turn around a 29'
sailboat in a 40' wide area?
The only space available at a nearby marina are side ties and I'm
worried about whether I can actually dock there.
Before starting the turn the wind is at the stern. On the port side is
the marina wall and on the other is the dock. I don't think there's
much if any current affecting the slip.

The other option is docking with the stern to the wind and when leaving
backing up for 90 feet.
There are boats in front and behind this slip.

Thanks.
