Pressure of rode on bobstay?

[dstrout]

I'm having a problem and am open to suggestions. No matter how I rig the anchor rode, I cannot get it to not push on the bobstay as the boat swings back-and-forth.

I've tried a snubber running over the bow roller, I've tried a very long bridle running from the hawse pipe on each side, I've tried a short bridle. All of them end up pushing against the bobstay.

I'm not worried about chafe - that's solvable. I'm worried about the pressure damaging the rigging. Is it something I should worry about, or is it a non-issue? Don't think 20-30 is going to hurt anything, but I'd like to figure it out so I know what to do when it's 50-60.

thanks,
Dave.
