I always backed my Pearson Triton into the slip
In Response To: I have found on my boats.....two errors in backing consistently made. ()
It had a tiller which made it easier. (You always know exactly where the rudder is pointing.) I also had a narrow slip with pilings on both sides. That made it all very easy.
It will be awhile, after a good bit of backing up practice, before I try to back the PS40 into a slip.
