Hi, We recently purchased a 34' trawler and understand that you had an
article on docking single screw boats a while back. Is there a way we
can search you page for that article or others of interest? Thanks for
you assistance, your page has been very useful to us already in our
initial forays.

Here is the article you're looking for:

I routinely backed my single screw Victory tug with little

problems after a
tugboat Captain told me how:

for a right hand screw (my tug was a left hand screw), ;
turn the rudder full left. Then back a little, and as your stern
starts to
move to the left, kick it ahead a little (with the rudder over hard,
you will
move the stern back to the right smartly without moving ahead. Then
back
some more. With practice you can almost back in a.straight line.
Before you
start the backing, take into consideration the wind and current and
you will
have little problem after awhile. <<<
