Mohammad,
We have had the 340 for two seasons and have been happy with it.
The one drawback when Med mooring is that the gangway can’t be deployed when the tender is on the davits. When

Re: Carrying Tender on Davits while crossing
Hi Aty & Mohammad,
I have experimented with several tenders (5 in total over 2 years) including 2 HIGHFIELDS and finally settled on a OCT (Offshore Cruising Tender – made in NEW ZEALAND) 350.

Re: Carrying Tender on Davits while crossing
Thanks Wolfgang. The pictures are very helpful.

Re: Carrying Tender on Davits while crossing
Thanks Jamie.
Keep in mind that the CL340 (same length as our current Zodiac) is wider than the stern and therefore does create issues when leaving the dock when docked stern to in tight quarters
