An adjustable tensioner particularly suited for use in applying tension to a halyard line circuit on an outrigger is disclosed and features a length of hollow braided rope having a proximate end serving as a first anchor point for attachment to a boat gunwale; a distal end; a loop section positioned intermediate the proximate end and the distal end, and a braid-in-braid section positioned intermediate the loop section and the proximate end; the loop section serving as a second anchor point for attachment to the halyard line circuit; wherein the effective distance between the first and second anchor points is adjusted by reducing or enlarging the size of the loop section; and wherein when tension is applied to the first and second anchor points, the braid-in-braid section provides a self-induced friction amplification effect to prevent an increase in the distance between the first and second anchor points.
