Should be one word. Translated as Rah oder Nock here

see Wiki article on yards

I imagine the royal yardarm would be where the royal flag was hoisted, so the highest point on the ship, as the context indicates.

In the evening, several officer candidates decided to climb to the royal yardarm and I was asked to take pictures. It is a challenge to make it up to the top, but it is quite an accomplishment when you finally do it.

Vielleicht:
Großroyal = oberes Segel am Großmast
