🔍 Key Concepts

• Heaving line purpose and how it is used in towing operations • Common end knots used to add weight to a light line • Which knots are specifically designed to be thrown versus primarily decorative

💭 Think About

• Visualize a towing evolution: what is the very first light line thrown, and what feature does its end need to have to carry across the gap? • Of the knot names listed, which one is widely known as a weighted end used to help a line travel farther when thrown? • Which of these knots is most commonly associated with practical seamanship for line-throwing rather than mainly for decorative ropework?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which knot is specifically used to add compact weight to the end of a heaving line so it can be thrown a good distance • Eliminate any knots you recognize as mainly decorative or used for marking/ornament rather than for throwing • Think about standard towing/line-handling gear: which of these names would you most likely encounter in a USCG seamanship manual when discussing heaving lines?
