Ultimate docking.

I would say they've done this before.

And here's me moaning about reversing into a slip with one fixed engine.

And not a lifeline or safety inspector in sight.

OH, my! I'll never complain about the Bremerton/Seattle ferry again.

They should of dipped the eye of the mooring line, but I must make a note of never buying a used car from Grease, all that salt water would not do them any good...

"Used car..."

Or motorcycle, scooter, bicycle, 18 wheeler or ferry for that matter.

Not my idea of fun! I wouldn't even want to try to land a dinghy in those conditions.

Not sure how the 27FC handles, but the A25 will back more or less straight with minimal prop walk. Won't turn worth a darn in reverse, but you can do short rudder kicks in forward to get the stern to point where you want it, and with a little sternway on it will respond to rudder input some, but not much.

Did you intentionally misspell Greece as "Grease" - quite appropriate

Enjoy reading your tomes; always useful. Regarding A27 handling; pretty much as you say - point the stern sort of where you want it to go, then make adjustments with short forward bursts. And have a boat hook handy. If the wind is blowing all bets are off for me, but I'm sure there are Albineers who have this mastered.
