Usage
The Heaving Line Knot is a specialized knot used to add weight to the end of a line, making it easier to throw the line accurately over a distance. It's commonly employed in maritime and rescue scenarios, where a weighted rope is needed to reach another vessel, dock, or person. One of several "Heaving Line Knots", the knot pictured here is particularly heavy and easy to throw as it provides weight to the end of the line.

Structure
The Heaving Line Knot is tied by creating a loop at the end of the rope and then winding the rope around the loop a number of times, increasing its density and preventing it from unraveling when thrown.
