Single handed?

I'm thinking that you have two scenarios to perfect:

1 boats both sides and a slot that's a metre or so wider than your boat - you've done the centre cleat manouevre once, so you can do that again. Cross-wind - direction will dictate where the boat will want to rest and help you choose the easier side to utilise for the cleat - I would rig lines both sides as well as fenders both sides. If the gap has closed a bit you should be still able to get the stern between the taper of the bows and wiggle your hips with the stern thruster to ease the gap wider.

2 gap of more than one boat's width - as above, aiming to lie against the downwind boat and be prepared to warp back to your slot (plus thrusters) once you are in touch with your own (static) mooring lines.

I had a similar issue recently with a Sealine t47. Although not as big as the Phantom you have, I have a particularly difficult berth in the Marina.
I decided to look into the systems available to help and spoke with both Yacht Controller and Dockmate and decided for Dockmate. One reason was the controller was a much better fit and the second was that the controller had the proportional throttle controls. The Dockmate is calibrated to the EDC throttles so I can throttle up and down using the twist controller and it automatically incorporated bow thruster toggle so it is like having joystick controls (almost).
Dockmate is plug and play and I liked that I could remove it without having to unsplice the wires. Thinking I would not get back my investment in resale and it can go on my next boat!
I think also my local dealer for Dockmate was exceptionally helpful and had it installed in a day, very tidy and very easy to use. For 8k it was a no brainer and I haven't regretted it, especially on windy days.
If you need questions answered I would speak to these guys, submit the quote form and they will call you back. Really helpful. Www.dockmateeastccoast.co.uk

Having a think about the dockmate system.

We have it with IPS, superb.

It’s not easy to dock with just the wife as crew

Actually she did superb. Lassoed both cleats first time and passed the slime line straight to my gloved hands. Then she tightened all the lines
That’s not my boat by the way
