Something to keep in mind. Lately I see more people get in trouble dropping off the ball verses picking up the ball. Someone needs to keep the ball in sight until you are well clear. Brief your crew on that point. Watched a boat last trip take a boaty ball right between the hulls on departure. Very lucky they didn’t get it in a prop.
Sailing cats depending on model also need a somewhat different pickup up approach. I always bring the ball up under the right crossbar not the middle and keep the ball to my right on approach. With some sailing helms you can keep the ball in sight much longer doing that and it’s actually easier for the deck crew rather than working around the forestay.
One last thing, for the love of god don’t run one line from the starboard cleat through the mooring line eye to the port cleat. You will chaff the mooring Loop and might just find yourself adrift.
