He seems to have no spars left,maybe a case for stowing at least the jib booming out spar on deck to form the basis of a rig,difficult to position on deck without a semblance of a tabernacle........all from my armchair of course!
I was wondering about that, then thinking about my own boat, both the spinnaker pole and whisker pole are stored vertically on the mast. As you suggest loss of mast, certainly increases the likely hood of loss of these poles or badly damaged if mast breaks but remains attached. There have been A frames supported from the gunwales using poles and booms, as shown in some books, but I can't remember. I can imagine that the first priority would be to save the hull from being damaged by a mast thrashing about.
