	Vertical Precision Flagpoles.com - Yardarms
		On a 25 ft. flagpole, the yardarm should be fastened about 8 ft. from the top; on a 30 ft. flagpole, about 10 ft. from the top, and so forth.
		The yardarm is supplied with a white gasket material that should be placed between both the front and rear bracket and the flagpole.
		The gasket provides a firm 'grip' to prevent the yardarm from moving and also preserves the finish of the flagpole should the yardarm ever be removed.

	History of Nova Scotia; Book.2; Part 5; Ch. 12. "The Shannon and the Chesapeake," Part 2.
		On square riggers, such as the Shannon and the Chesapeake, sails are hung from yardarms, horizontal sticks on perpendicular poles (masts).
		Indeed, it was intended that they should at the right time make the jump from their yardarm to the enemy's yardarm.
		During the battle, the air was thick with an infinity of savage wood splinters sent flying by the impact of the cannon balls shot through the wooden bulwarks.

	CONSTITUTION's Sail Power
		In battle, the courses usually were brailed up to their yardarms to lessen the amount of damage they suffered from shot flying across the ship at their level.
		Above the courses, and at the same level on the mizzen mast, were the "topsails." These were the work horses among the ship's suit of sails, being used both to drive the ship and to maneuver her in most situations.
		Unlike their lower cousins, which were set from or furled to their respective yardarms, the royals were set or furled by raising or lowering their yardarms with lines from the fighting tops (the platforms high on the lower masts).

		The new mast utilizes three yardarms vice two on the earlier style mast.
		The new mast is also 14-feet taller than the previous model that required sailors to climb ladders on the outside of the mast pole to reach various platforms and yardarms and was only accessible from the 0-11 level.
		Cables to the various antennas on the new mast are run in the yardarms and are accessed through bolted covers located on the topsides of the yardarms.

	Nautical
		If they had a VERY successful cruise they’d be allowed to dress her to the nines; thus, all nine yardarms would be dressed with bunting and flags when things went very well.
		From the 16th century on until steam powered ships took over, British naval ships were rated as to the number of heavy cannon they carried.
		Yardarms were often referred to simply as “yards.” When a warship turned through the wind the yards would have to be swung around to catch the breeze from another direction.

	Sails
		Ropes called BRACES run from each yardarm and allow the yard to be swiveled horizontally to catch the wind.
		Other ropes called LIFTS from the masthead to the yardarms and SLINGS to the middle of the yard control the vertical movement of the yard by means of HALYARDS.
		They are either fastened to the yardarms below or, in the case of the main courses, used to control the sail.

		The Eagle is used by the Coast Guard to train their Academy Cadets in an environment where sailing can be learned from its fundamentals.
		While I wasn't on watch I participated in the ships daywork which involves the setting and dousing of sails, swinging the yardarms, and any repairs that may be required on board.
		The yardarms are the horizontal pieces that extend the sails outward and for setting and dousing sails the crew has to climb out, sometimes to where they're over water instead of the ship.

	Sea Cloud Cruise - ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine
		As the Captain explained what was going on, we watched as the 18-person deck crew, comprised of both men and women, climbed aloft to unfurl the sails.
		Unlike the more modern Star Clippers’ ships, the deck crew onboard Sea Cloud has to scamper up the shrouds and ratlines before moving horizontally to the very end of the yardarms above the sea.
		Supported only by a small wire that swings wildly about, they seemed to be floating in the air, draped over the yardarms, while untying the sails.

		It turns up in various forms, of which the sun’s over the yardarm is probably the most common, but one also sees not till the sun’s over the yardarm as an injunction, or perhaps a warning.
		The yardarms on a sailing ship are the horizontal timbers or spars mounted on the masts, from which the square sails are hung.
		In summer in the north Atlantic, where the phrase seems to have originated, this would have been at about 11am.
