    I need some support. (in Plan Sheet 22) Main Topgallant Yard Halliard: I am supposed to tie the end of the thread to spot #17. But where is it? I can't locate it. The marking on the plan corresponds to somewhere top of those wooden "gears". Same goes for spots #9 and #10, for Main Yard Jeers. Also there are 2 times #62 spots at the same place, so altogether 5 ropes will end up there. Can anyone point at where exactly they are? The photo of the finished model below from the instructions does not show any ropes going there. The photo below is my model:

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
