[Alberg30] How do I back this boat?

[Brian and Elaine Timmins]

Tim,
  I always found that the bow would fall off downwind (if there was wind).
Other than that, once you get the boat moving in reverse, take it out of
gear and drift backwards. The rudder will work better. In close quarters,
keep a fender handy.
Regards and Happy New Year,

P.S.  I recently moved up to a 39' 23500lbs FULL keel cutter. It's even
harder to control in reverse
