Below is a picture from the Occre Endeavour instructions in which the longboat is stowed on two plain lengths of wood. This does not look good. I suspect however that in reality these might haven been reserve spars. Can anyone elaborate on this? Would these have been ready to install yardbeams, tops, topgallants, and if so which ones? Or just several plain lengths of wood in different sizes to be used according to the circumstances? What exact;ly should be there?
