Disclosed is an elongated body tensioner, configured to pull at least two elongated bodies along in a direction of movement. The tensioner includes a first and a second track each including a plurality of first and second contact pads. The first and second track are mutually arranged such that the at least two elongated bodies can be squeezed in between one or more pairs of one first contact pad and one second contact pad. In a pair, one of the first and the second contact pad is a receiving contact pad configured to receive the at least two elongated bodies that are positioned next to each other in a direction transverse to the direction of movement. In a pair, the one, and/or another of the first and the second contact pad is an accommodating contact pad configured to accommodate a possible difference in diameter of the at least two elongated bodies to avoid reducing contact force between the at least two elongated bodies and the contact pads. The elongated body tensioner may be used in a tensioning system, provided on a laying vessel.
