Heaving Line Knot

The Heaving Line is used for the hawser. Once it’s there, it should and
cannot be taken down so that it could serve its purpose. It’s recommended
that you use at least 0.9 mm of 6mm rope to make it as heavy duty as
possible—and so you’d be able to save waste or guessing, as well.

Instructions:

1. Make sure to prepare the rope you need, and then go and create a
bight.
2. Once you have created the bight, hold it tight so that it would
enclose the tail end of the end.

3. Let the tail end pass through the loop so that the knot would be
complete!
