Note the smaller line size - it has to travel behind the rocket; of course a larger line could be manipulated between shore and ship once the smaller line was established. Here are examples of some rockets used with such devices.Flotation line is mentioned in some texts on these - an obvious advantage would be to avoid entanglement on reef structure.LTM -

It may be necessary when passing a very heavy line to do this twice, a light messenger pulling out a stronger messenger which is then use to pull out the strong line.gl
