Hi crew. There's what appears to be a good buy for one of these here in WA. 100k. It's a 1993 Moorings 445. Anyone familiar with one of these? Not a real lot to find on the net.

I believe SS is correct. Moorings is a "charter brand". They did the same with Jeanneau. Lots of them in the Caribbean. As far as I know, they are just the same as an Oceanis but might have a few charter specific specs, more like a Cyclades maybe?

Check the history, If chartered, probably very high engine hours, maybe hit the bricks a few times (check the keel bolts, internal grid). Check the rudder stock. Later model Bene's have some very average designs that have sunk a few. Chainplates also. I reckon earlier Beneteau's (circa 2000 or thereabouts) are pretty solid (eh Toph!).

Nothing wrong with an ex charter as they usually well maintained but have high usage. Just need a good look.

5 previous owners with 2 circumnavigations. 1993 with good instruments including HF and 2 plotters. One keel bolt has evidence of tightening.
Engine has 4400 hrs. Will be single handed mostly and it's a fair rig for one person so a few 2nd thoughts. Beautiful clean boat tho. Was in survey but no word on charter.
