And talking of painters I learnt that term from a Tintin book was I was about 5!!!

To save confusion in my orginal post, I referred to an anchor line. It is actually my secondary mooring line which runs over the top. My primary line is direct to the bow eye. However when the boat is bobbing about recklessly in the wind it pulls the top rope taught and wears the bow tube slightly. My
swinging mooring is exactly that. And in every direction
I already have a jamming cleat type thingy on the top of the tube which was a Henshaw's purchase when I specced the boat originally and that works well to hold the rope in place over the top.

That would be fantastic, thanks. PM on its way.
Looks like something for lonely men.
