V shape Mooring Bridles

LIROS Anchorplait/Octoplait White Nylon V shaped Mooring and Anchoring Bridles

Custom Build a bridle to divide the load between two cleats - spliced and whipped to your own bespoke requirements by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

Jimmy Green V Shaped Anchorplait Bridles:

• A Jimmy Green V shaped bridle is based on the Anchorplait centre eye splice (with or without a thimble/chain hook).
• The bridle consists of a continuous line, made into a soft loop around a fitting or formed around a hard thimble eye with a brummel locking tuck splice.
• The strength of the bridle is therefore not reliant on a Y Joining Splice i.e. splicing two separate ropes together
• The maximum angle of deployment must always be set up with caution but the centre eye splice is much less prone to failure at a wider than optimum angle than any joining splice between two separate ropes.
• It is not possible to successfully put a centre eye splice in a rope of 3 strand construction

Jimmy Green Multihull V Bridle Advisory

The wider angle involved with setting up a V bridle on broader beam multihulls may make it prudent to deploy separate hardware-connected lines.

Mantus Marine manufacture a Bridle Plate solution. Single lines can be 3 strand (twisted lay) construction: 3 Strand Strops rather than Anchorplait if preferred.

Additional Information The finished length is measured from the bearing edge to the bearing edge = the inside face of a loop/thimble where e.g. a shackle pin would take the load and therefore NOT the overall outside length The splicing price includes the extra rope required to make the splice and meet the overall finished length.
