    In this close-up of Glory of the Seas...you can clearly see the fore topmast stay pass through the Bees....and back toward the root of the bowsprit...where it terminates.
    Not sure if McKay used this arrangement on Flying Cloud.  She still sported single topsails.  Near twenty years separates their evolutions.

    Welcome!
    The halliards/halyards are made from chain and are center yard run through sheeves in the masts  the lifts are simple fixed cable or hemp used to support the yard while it is lowered.  The two have separate and individual functions.

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.
