I have, it requires "all hands on deck" to gently maneuver the boat into it's near impossible slip by "gently pushing off" the boats on either side -- an inordinate number of "fenders" are also employed.
Given the 80/20 rule of seasoned Captains vs rookies -- this style of docking would be a DISASTER on Winni. I have a 3 minute video on my phone that I shot in Nice of just such a docking but can't figure out how to upload.

No boats to push aside at the end of the dock...
I do it all the time at a friend's lake place because his dock is too short for my boat. Not hard at all.
