Are any of the maneuvers described here dependent on the dock relative to the final position of the boat (port or starboard) - in particular when the wind is blowing into or out of the slip area?

Note that spring lines are more powerful that propwalk or a side wind so it's a good idea to get them on as soon as possible in the maneuver if you think they are required.
