A mooring connector assembly 3 has a body (10, Fig 2) arranged to be pivotally mounted to a structure (1, Fig 1), such as a tethered buoy, to be moored for movement about a pivot axis. At least a part of the body extends below the pivot axis when so mounted and oriented for use. A line stopper (17, Fig 3) is mounted to the part of the body which extends below the pivot axis in use and is operative to retain a mooring line 2 relative to the body. The body is configured to receive a tensioner 20 for tensioning a mooring line retained by the stopper such that the tensioner urges the line at a point which is below the pivot axis when the body is oriented for use. The body may be an elongate tube pivotally connected to a structure to be moored at one end and fitting with a chain stopper at the opposite end. The tube is configured to receive a chain tensioner between the chain stopper 17 and pivot axis.
