Nick demonstrates mooring ball technique for both monohulls and catamarans, using two separate lines run from bow cleats down to the mooring ball.Watch The first line goes through the lifting point — the easiest to grab when initially picking up the ball — and a second, stronger line is then threaded through the mooring point at the base of the ball.0:34 Running both lines back to the same bow cleat prevents a swinging (soaring) motion; leading them to separate cleats creates that unwanted movement.0:18 The mooring point at the base is the primary load-bearing connection because the lifting point's internal hardware varies: some balls have nothing there, others a steel rod, making the base attachment consistently stronger.1:00 On departure, retrieve the mooring-point line first, since it is most likely to catch or twist; once it is clear, releasing the lifting-point line is straightforward.1:12 If a problem arises with the mooring-point line during retrieval, the lifting-point line still holds the boat while the issue is resolved.1:21
