Mantus Single Leg Snubber

The Mantus Single Leg Snubber is a single nylon line that connects your anchor chain to one bow cleat, absorbing shock loads from wind gusts and waves. It uses the same three-strand nylon, chafe protection, and 316L stainless thimbles as the Mantus Bridle — in a simpler one-leg setup — with a Mantus chain hook sized to your chain. Three sizes cover boats from 30 to 70 feet.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between a single leg snubber and a bridle?

The number of attachment points. A single leg snubber runs one line from the chain to a single bow cleat — simpler to deploy and stow. A bridle runs two legs to spread the load across both sides of the bow. Catamarans use the Catamaran Bridle, which attaches to both hulls’ bow eye-bolts.

What size single leg snubber do I need?

Choose by boat length: Small (5/8″ rope, 23 feet) for boats 30–40 feet, Medium (3/4″ rope, 26 feet) for 40–50 feet, and Large (1″ rope, 30 feet) for 50–70 feet. Rope strength steps up from 12,200 lbs ultimate breaking strength for the Small to 29,400 lbs for the Large.

How does the snubber attach to the anchor chain?

With a Mantus chain hook sized to fit your chain. For mooring balls, use the Mantus Mooring Snap Shackle instead.
