I back my 38 into her slip, so I've only sailed her into her slip one time - and that was bow first. Actually that was pretty easy since her slip was the last one on the pier.
I've never tried backing a sailboat under sail. I used to be totally awed when the big AC boats would come head to wind during a pre-start and back up for a boat length or two to gain a starting advantage. I've sailed the 25 on and off moorings and into her slip for years. It's all in the preparation and timing. Folks on the dock either think you are crazy and dangerous - or a REALLY good sailor. I do occasionally sail the 25 out of the slip, but only when the wind is just right: moderate to light and from a broad reach to a run as I sail down the fairway. Get the jib ready to hoist before leaving (mine has hanks. A roller would be easier) push the boat back and turn it as it leaves the slip so it is pointed down the fairway. Then hoist the jib and jack's your uncle. You ought to be able to do it in a 30, but I'd not try it in anything larger. Too heavy and slow to accelerate to a speed where you have steerage and some lift from the keel. But it's sort of like getting to Carnegie Hall...Practice! Practice!
