    I think I follow. The runner is connected to an eyebolt, as is the standing end of the halliard; I assume when you say opposite, you are referring to the other side of the ship, either port or starboard. However, I have some trouble in understanding the running component of the halliard. Forgive me for being slow, but could you explain that a bit further? In particular, what do you mean by it being in two or more parts? If there are more blocks than shown in the image, how are they arranged? and what are the differences between a leading and tackle block? Sorry and thank you again, Mashuno

    Hello all! I've been working on a personal project based around 16th-17th century galleons, and so far it's been smooth sailing (pun intended). However, I've run into a little problem with the rigging. More specifically, I'm having problems with how the topsail ties and halliards work. I'm using R.C. Anderson's "The rigging of ships in the days of the spiritsail topmast, 1600-1720", and it says that the tie has a block at its end, with a runner passing through the block. The runner is then said to have its own block, with the halliard running through that. I'm having some trouble visualising how the runner and halliard are rigged to the rest of the ship, especially since Anderson describes the runner as connecting to "one side of the ship as well as aft". If anyone can give a more detailed explanation, or provide diagrams/images of the runners position on the ship, that would be much appreciated Thank you in advance, Mashuno

    Thank you all for the very warm welcome! Chris, I have actually experimented a bit with card, though my attempts are a bit scruffy. I would love to get into it in a more formal manner, so I'll definitely check them out! Mashuno

    Hello all! I've been lurking on the site for a while and decided its finally time to make an introduction. I'm an engineering student from the UK who, over the past year, has gotten really into sailing ships, their design and function, and really the whole age of sail. This website has been phenomenal for learning about all sorts of things about ships, and really greatful to all those that make Model Ship World a possibility I'm a bit of a strange case in that I don't actually own a model ship, or plan to for the foreseeable future; its a big time and cost commitment, and requires a lot of tools too. Whilst it would be nice to start one day, I hope you'll accept me into your wonderful forum simply as an observer and allow me to continue marvelling over everyone's incredible builds! Mashuno.

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.
