Abstract: The invention concerns an elongate, flexible line (16) for providing a linkage between a first structure (10) and a second structure (14). The line may be a mooring line. It has an elongate tubular sheath (18) of braided material, the sheath being able to change reversibly and repeatedly in length and its braided structure being such that an increase in length of the sheath is accompanied by a decrease in its lateral dimension. Within the sheath is an impervious flexible bladder (28). The bladder defines a fluid-containing internal chamber (36) which is acted on by the sheath so that the volume of the chamber varies with the length of the sheath. A pressure source (42) is arranged to pressurise the chamber. A passage (40) communicates with the chamber and incorporates a restriction (44). In operation the pressurised bladder urges the sheath to expand laterally and so to contract in length. An increase in extension of the sheath causes fluid to be exhausted from the chamber through the restriction, increasing chamber pressure and providing a damping force opposed to the sheath's extension.
