ABSTRACT:
A tethered termination assures that a float is held at and below the wateir interface to dissipate the dynamic energy of surface waves. The termination is secured to a ballast from which the tether reaches upwardly to the float. Splicing a wire rope or synthetic line onto a ball and socket termination avoids bending the rope or line since all motion occurs across the ball and socket to assure a corrosion and failure free operation over millions of oscillation cycles by the float.
