I have an angled birth with an extremely narrow fairway behind me. Even on my 40' sailboat, backing out of the slip, turning against the prop-walk was extremely difficult with some wind/current conditions. Fortunately, I never hit anything but a couple of times I came close to needing to fend off. That was with a large rudder and a proper keel.
On the North Pacific, it would be impossible to do without at least a bow thruster in some wind conditions.
We probably have quite a bit more room in our fairway, and there's probably quite a bit less windage on our aft end compared to yours...that, and Badger is only 30'
