A mooring arrangement 32 comprises at least two outer anchors 24, a reaction anchor 12 disposed between the outer anchors and at least two anchor legs 34 that extend outwardly from the reaction anchor to the outer anchors. The reaction anchor has multi-directional effect, being configured to react against outward forces applied by tension in the mutually-opposed anchor legs. Each anchor leg comprises a tensioner 18, an inner line 16 extending from the reaction anchor to the tensioner, and an outer line 22L extending from the tensioner to the outer anchor. A tensioner line, which may be the inner line or the outer line, may be fixed to the tensioner whereas a mooring line 22 may extend through the tensioner. An upper section of the mooring line 22U may extend from the tensioner to a moored floating body 26. A lower section of the mooring line may form part of the anchor leg, as either the inner line or the outer line.
