Thanks for the post. It makes me glad we decided to stick with the 46.3 for our July charter. About the last thing I want to do on a vacation is to be a "beta tester" of a new model sailboat. Moorings really hit a sweet spot with the 46.3 (genset and dual ACs) and she was a gem to sail in our 2021 trip. The dual rudders always had us under control even heading upwind with too much canvas.

In one of our early charters in the 1980s Moorings made the switch from tying the dinghy with a standard line to using propylene. I will always remember the warnings given to us at boat checkout: 1. it is supposed to float but doesn't (actually it sort of does) and 2 it won't stay tied on a cleat. Since then after cleating I always tie the end with a bowline around the nearest stanchion. We lost a dingy one time coming out of Moorings but it was the dinghy end that had come untied.

It sounds like Moorings had its act together at the base which was a growing concern of mine based upon some negative FB reviews. In 2021 the 46.3 was new and the dock help was well versed in all the cats but not so much the new 46.3. I guess we'll find out in 5 weeks!
