HMS Victory Occre 225 - build log

Hi Crypton,
Are the battens as shown in the kit instructions? According to The Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War, page 2, there were 8 for each mast and they reached from the hounds to a point 3/5 of the way to the cap. They went over the iron bands on the mast head. The breadth of each batten was 1/8 of the given diameter of the mast.
