About the MOORINGS 4000 (2005-2009)

The Moorings 4000 is a fractional sloop designed by Morrelli & Melvin and built by Robertson and Caine between 2005 and 2009. With a displacement of 16821.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 12.54, this vessel offers a stable platform for coastal cruising, though the exact number of hulls built remains unspecified in available records.
- Best for:
- This boat is well-suited for coastal cruisers and charter operators who prioritize ease of handling and comfortable motion over high-performance racing metrics. Its fractional rig and moderate displacement make it accessible for couples or small families seeking a reliable, low-maintenance cruising experience.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.15 and a displacement of 16821.0 lb, the boat possesses adequate stability for coastal passages, but its primary design focus on comfort and ease of use suggests it is best suited for protected waters rather than extended bluewater expeditions.
- Comparables:
- Comparable vessels include the Beneteau Oceanis 40 and the Lagoon 400, as they share similar production eras and target the same market of comfortable, easy-to-handle coastal cruisers. The Moorings 4000 distinguishes itself with its specific Morrelli & Melvin hull form and Robertson and Caine construction quality.
