About the Moorings 362 3

Designed with charter cruising firmly in mind, the Moorings 362 3 is a capable and practical bluewater cruiser that has earned a solid reputation across some of the world's most popular sailing destinations. Built as part of The Moorings' well-established fleet program, this vessel reflects the priorities of a company that understands what cruisers actually need at sea — reliability, comfort, and ease of handling for sailors of varying experience levels. As a three-cabin variant of the 362 platform, this boat is particularly well suited to bareboat charter groups and family cruising, offering a thoughtful layout that balances livability with performance. Her hull design favors stability and seakindliness, making her a confident companion on coastal passages and moderate offshore legs alike. While she won't be mistaken for a racing machine, she holds her own in the kinds of trade wind conditions that define Caribbean and Mediterranean sailing. For prospective buyers, the Moorings 362 3 represents an appealing entry point into the liveaboard or extended cruising lifestyle, with the added reassurance of a pedigree shaped by real-world charter experience.

21.11
Comfort Ratio Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio predicts how comfortable a boat will feel in offshore conditions. Higher values mean a steadier, more comfortable motion in a seaway.
Under 20 — Uncomfortably rough20–30 — Acceptable coastal30–40 — Good offshore comfortOver 40 — Very comfortable offshore
19.4
Capsize Screening Formula The USHS Capsize Screening Formula estimates offshore capsize risk. Lower is safer — values under 2.0 are considered acceptable for offshore sailing.
Under 2.0 — Safe for offshore2.0–2.2 — Borderline offshoreOver 2.2 — Coastal use recommended
2.18
Hull Speed Hull Speed is the theoretical maximum speed of a displacement hull, calculated from waterline length. Most cruising sailboats reach this speed in moderate conditions. 7.48
