As mentioned, most modern boats up to 70/80' if everything is working could be taken off anchor and out to sea by one person. Parking / berthing / docking whatever you like calling it is realistically very deferent.
View from my office desk as I type is this:

I would say Sailing yachts up to 40/45' on a good day you could drive on and hop off with the lines, motor boat 50'ish (if its easy transit from helm to dock), there is one thing getting the boat next to the dock/pontoon without crashing but then securing her is another thing altogether. Add in some wind, weather and tide then its all reduced massively. I see it all happen here, I also move a lot of boats solo, and I know when I want help!!
My dad could pick up a swinging mooring under sail on our 45 footer if it wasn’t too windy. Force 4 plus needed two of us.

Reverse parking was almost impossible under sail unless the boat was much smaller. We could reverse part the firefly but at 12 ft it’s smaller than the dining tables the boats on this thread have.

Reverse park = stern to berthing

Ngoni is one of the best looking big, modern sailing yachts… Huisman really know how to build them!

Just seen Stardust go down the Thames. 62.5m long and registered in Cayman Islands. Looks like it’s a charter, but love to know more eg value.

Edit: Now heading back out near Tower Bridge…

NGONI might not just be one of the most beautiful boats ever built, it might be one of the most beautiful things ever.

Is this the first seized Russian oligarch superyacht being auctioned off?

According to the article below, "Pumpyansky's holding company, Pyrene Investments, owed $22 million to American bank JP Morgan. As soon as Pumpyansky was sanctioned, JP Morgan could no longer legally accept money from Pyrene for the repayment of the loan. Instead, the bank asked a court in Gibraltar to seize the yacht for a breach of the loan agreement, then auction it off to repay the debt."

Tuck it away in a covered yard for 2 years, change colour, make changes to superstructure profile, change name, emerge as a new yacht
