Tall Ship Yards and Sails
In Russel Museum in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, is a fine model
of a tall ship in full sail - squares and fore & aft all set. I think
that it was made by the ex-captain. Out of the four masts, the three
forward masts each had SEVEN yards. What are the yards called? I have
1/ course, 2/ lower topsail, 3/ upper topsail, 4/ royal, 5/
t'gallant, .... but what were nos. 6 and 7? Fair winds - Chris B.
