I'm worried about learning to navigate her in close quarters with the single screw.

Re: Newbie
You could snag an experienced friend or dockmate. Or hire a captain for a few sessions.
I have two firmly-cemented docking principles:
o Neutral is your friend.
o Never go faster than you want to hit something.
You'll get there! Have fun!

Re: Newbie
Congrats! Single screw and be tricky, especially in wind and current. Luckily mine has a bow thruster. Might consider one in the future.
