Des écarts latéraux cloués assurent la liaison de la quille avec l’étrave et l’étambot.
L’assemblage de la quille avec l’étrave et l’étambot se fait par utilisation d’écarts latéraux fixés par des clous.
I am thinking "crossbeams" but would like to know if someone knows the proper shipbuilding term for this part of the ship's structure.

To explain why "lateral" becomes "vertical": normally a scarf joint is made with one piece on top of the other with the diagonal joint showing on the side, in this case the two pieces come together laterally, but the diagonal lines of the scarf are on the top and the bottom... no wonder there have been so many problems between the FR and the EN in the past!
