Dropper might be close enough, the term I have seen used is a drop plank. The opposite type of plank, one that gets added in near the stem or stern because the pattern is widening instead of narrowing, is called a stealer.

Thanks for the inquiry, still working up the funds for section 5 of La Renommee.....680.00 with shipping, in the meantime, my wife bought me Le Mirage by Corel last xmas, so I built that, and now Im doing a quick Mamoli Model of the HMS Hunter. Also some repairs to Britannia, which I built many years ago. Sadly you can see La Renommee in the background waiting for the next section

Tom is an SOS member. You might try contacting him directly via DM at @CAFmodel. Keep in mind that the recent Chinese New Year festivities could have affected response times.

Peut-être absent pour le Nouvel An chinois ?

Section 5 has arrived! Will Begin shortly after I wrap up OcCre Jabeque

I'm pulling up my stool and waiting for you to begin section 5! Should be a lot of fun. Magic Mike

So...after a long hiatus, and 2 smaller models....back at La Renommee. Started Section 5, attached Frame supports for Gun Ports, started laying out deck beams for bow. Direction are a bit confusing, but it appears the deck beams should be laid and measured by section Bow-Mid-Stern to ensure measurements for mast supports and carlings are correct, and then fill in the rest of the beams.

Set 3 Gun Deck beams today, appears setting Beam 5A-3 first helps with correct measurements for the rest of the bow section beams.
