    Getting back to the Wyoming, the first 3 masts have double spring stays.

    Starting the rigging with the spring stays etc. working from the middle out. I plan to do the booms and gaffs before the shrouds.

    In modern ships, the spreaders actually spread out the stays for more leverage.
     
    But in old ships, my opinion (without any direct evidence) is that they are to stabilize the long run of the stays rather than change their direction.

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.
