My boat is moored stern in with the bow facing out due to the current on the river I sail but I become use to it and prefer mooring that way. I can steer with the rudder and outboard to get it lined up, I can see how much space I have to the dock and if I find I am approaching to fast, put in forward and give some gas, since you can go a lot faster in first than reverse with an outboard motor. I have seen some folks misjudge their distance and/or speed and bump the dock with the bow of there boat. And with 19 foot day sailer, it should be a piece of cake to moore it
