The heaving line bend is a quick and simple knot that is used to attach playing strings to the thick silk eyes of the anchorage knot. It is knot number 1462 in the Ashley Book of Knots.[1]
[edit] Tying steps
- Insert the string through the bight, well down from the bight tip.
- Go around the bight and cross above the string on the back side.
- Finish by tucking the end between its turn around the first bight leg and that leg; pull tight.
