Lee, let me see if I understand you. I think what you're saying is 1) fix the
bridle to the bow cleat on each hull, To the single attachment point in the
middle of the bridle, take a long line and run it to the stern cleat on one of
the hulls. Then back into the pick-up stick (or mooring ball) and either tie
the long line to the pick-up stick or reeve it through the fitting on the
mooring ball. At that point, drop everything overboard and let the boat float
backwards 'till your long line (attached to your bridle) runs clean off the bow.
Then pull the boat forward (using the anchor windless?) 'till you've got the
proper length on the single line and tie it off?
Do I have that right?
Sounds logical if a little movement "intensive". Although I suspect with
practice it evolves into not such a big deal.

About picking up mooring balls on a cat.... Put a long line on a bow
cleat, bring it alongside to the stern. Using the 2 engines, back a sugar
scoop up to the ball and thread the long line through. If conditions allow,
walk loose end of line to bow, if not, cleat it at stern and jockey the boat
so the bouy is at the bow, then recleat the line.
