Harold Underhill's plans for a 2 masted topsail schooner show the foremast lower yard attached to the mast using a yoke ( a forked support). I've made one for barquentine Waterwitch but this one looks different and the drawing is vague. Can anyone shed some light on the design?

Not knowing which vessel, the time period, or whether it had wood or steel masts, we can only guess. But Underhill did publish several drawings of different truss types for lower yards in Masting and Rigging The Clipper Ship and Ocean Carrier.

He also included a sail and rigging plan for a two mast topsail schooner (Plate No. 44) in Masting and Rigging, and another for the schooner Kate in Sailing Ship Rigs and Rigging (page 56). The frontispiece in that book is a very nice perspective view of an unnamed two-mast topsail schooner.

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.
