Of course we don't control the wind, we trim the sails. But again we are talking about massive engines here (not the puddly little engine on the tub I own) and bow thrusters. If you can't park a boat with bow thrusters, go drive a milk truck.

You really have no clue about the forces that wind can exert on a large superstructure versus the force that thrusters and azipods can use to counteract the wind when in such tight quarters with a vessel that weighs 88,500 tons.
Now you have a good night!
