V shape Mooring Bridles

LIROS Anchorplait ® and Octoplait White Nylon V-shaped Mooring and Anchoring Bridles

You can Custom Build a bridle to divide the load between two cleats - spliced and whipped to your 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 deployment angle 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 three strand rope

V Bridle Custom Build Instructions

Jimmy Green V shape Bridles spliced to order by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team are available in:

  • Anchorplait Nylon, White with distinctive easy splice markers LIROS article 01058JG
  • Octoplait Nylon, White LIROS article 01058
  • Octoplait Polyester, White LIROS article 01047, Black or Navy LIROS article 01049

Suitable for: Anchor chain snubbing, permanent mooring warp applications and for use with towing lines, para-anchor rodes or yacht drogue warps.

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 three strand (twisted lay) construction: 3 Strand Strops rather than Anchorplait if preferred.

Size guidelines vary for application:

LIROS Anchorplait ® White Nylon Article 01058JG - 100% Nylon (Polyamide) - Facts, Features and Plus Factors

Anchorplait ® is a Jimmy Green Marine UK Registered Trademark.

Anchorplait ® is manufactured exclusively by LIROS Ropes for Jimmy Green Marine.

Anchorplait ® features Easy Splice Markers designed by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) delivers a balanced performance with no twist under tension.

In fact, Anchorplait falls and flakes like a chain.

Anchorplait is the rope that will not cockle - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation.

Anchorplait is the optimum rope for creating a V Bridle because the centre eye splice is more secure than any joining splice.

LIROS Anchorplait Nylon Facts, Features and Plus Factors:

  • LIROS manufacturing excellence and consistency
  • 100% Nylon (Polyamide)
  • UV stabilised
  • Square braid construction
  • Non-kinking
  • Balanced braiding
  • The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) ensures a balanced performance with no twist under tension
  • Zero possibility of cockling - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation
  • Dependable, robust strength
  • Reliable durability
  • Excellent weathering and wear resistance
  • Remains flexible for the duration of its working life
  • Supreme Shock Absorbing Elongation, >20% working load stretch
  • Spliceable into a robust, secure V-shape termination – centre eye splice with Brummel Lock 

LIROS Anchorplait and Octoplait Nylon Break Load in daN:

10mm 2400daN - 12mm 3300daN - 14mm 4400daN - 16mm 5600daN - 18mm 7000daN - 20mm 8140 daN - 24mm 11800daN

LIROS specify their minimum break loads in Dekanewtons (DaN)

Kg force is a more recognisable illustration of strength, so you can convert the LIROS DaN values as follows:

1 Dekanewton = approximately 1.02 kg force

Therefore, the strength for any given diameter will be higher in kg than in daN e.g. 11800daN = approximately 12036kg

Plain white LIROS Octoplait Nylon article 01058 with only LIROS tracer yarns is also available.

LIROS Octoplait Polyester Article 01047 and 01049:

The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) delivers a balanced performance with no twist under tension.

In fact, Octoplait falls and flakes like a chain.

Octoplait will not cockle because the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation.

LIROS Octoplait Polyester Facts, Features and Plus Factors

  • LIROS manufacturing excellence and consistency
  • 100% Polyester
  • Excellent shock absorption
  • Superlative weathering and UV resistance
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • The 8-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) ensures a balanced performance with no twist under tension
  • Zero possibility of cockling - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation
  • Falls and flakes like a chain
  • Remains flexible and supple for the duration of its working life
  • Super pliable
  • Reliable load capacity and abrasion resilience
  • Excellent ductile shock absorption >15% working load stretch

LIROS Break Load: 10mm 2000daN ~ 12mm 2400daN ~ 14mm 3800daN ~ 16mm 4700daN ~ 18mm 5800daN ~ 20mm 7600daN ~ 24mm 11600daN

LIROS specify their minimum break loads in Dekanewtons (DaN)

Kg force is a more recognisable illustration of strength, so you can convert the LIROS DaN values as follows:

1 Dekanewton = approximately 1.02 kg force

e.g. 11600daN = approximately 11832kg

Jimmy Green Measurement Advisory

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.

Quality Control

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team undertake to check your rope meticulously during the production process to ensure that it is 100% First Quality.

The Jimmy Green Despatch Team make a second thorough quality inspection of each item, including a careful check that it matches your order, before packing it into your parcel.
