   English: Stavros S Niarchos's main-topgallant yard refitted to the mast at sea after being brought down on deck for maintenance. Not all the lines are re-rigged yet; missing are the sheets for both the topgallant itself and the royal above it. The clewlines and buntlines are similarly not fitted, and the sail has not been bent on yet.

   Later full-rigged ships split the topsail (and often the topgallant sail) for easier handling. They thus set two topsails (and possibly two topgallant sails) per mast.

   Such a vessel is said to have a ship rig or be ship-rigged, with each mast stepped in three segments: lower, top, and topgallant.
