Chain hook snubbing V bridle with LIROS Anchorplait/Octoplait Nylon
Anchor Snubber Bridles absorb the shock load when the anchor chain pulls tight.
Chain snubbing bridles prevent potentially damaging anchor loads from reaching your windlass.
The V bridle can be set up using the port and starboard mooring fairleads/cleats avoiding use of the stemhead roller.
Essential for anchoring in all conditions.
Anchor Chain Snubbing Guidelines:
Length - as long as practicable (5 or 6 metres is quite common) with a minimum 3 metres tail (leg) length
Tail length is defined as the distance from the centre eye splice to the end of the line in each direction
e.g. a bridle with 3m legs will be 6m long when pulled out straight with a centre eye splice in the middle.
Strength - similar to your Anchor Chain and Warp
The shock absorption qualities of the snubber will increase with greater length and reduced diameter.
