Pffftttt..
Multi screw with bow thrusters. You might as well have a couple of tugs....
A single screw, single rudder on a cross wind and following current --- now THERE is a challenge...

And parking the damned thing is easy.
Try navigating with only a compass, MF-RDF, depth finder and charts - in zero visibility.
I passed by bringing the boat back, 20 miles, and into a river breakwater that way.
No GPS back then...
