ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tension leg floating platform for offshore drilling has a plurality of tendons extending from the sea floor to the platform in tension. The upper connector for each tendon includes a housing with a conical shoulder located therein. A terminal segment on the upper end of each tendon extends through the housing. Dogs are carried on the shoulder of the housing, each having threads on the interior for mating threads formed on the terminal segment. A cam ring moves the dogs from an outer retracted position to an inner engaged position. The cam ring also will rotate the dogs relative to the terminal to mesh the threads of the dogs with the threads of the terminal segment.
