Well ...... I am the Captain ........ but I didn't go into a 3D-scan. I do have clogs, but not painted yellow. They are off bare wood.

Starting with the very eye-catching and crucial components for processing the catch: the 'krebben'. (crabs / bunks ??)
Just a quick look at this photo I posted earlier.
The 'krebben' are in the two colored ovals. When the nets are hauled in, the catch above is shaken out of the nets and collected.
Because they are so visually dominant, I'm going to make both. So also the one on the open construction section.
The reason for this is that additional baffles and rollers can be placed between the two crabs. See the arrow between the two ovals. And some more rollers.
As they are positioned on the Balder:
-Three compartments can be created lengthwise with planks.
-Above the inner baffle, a roller for the nets to roll over.
-Two diagonally placed iron rods lengthwise hold the uprights in place. Otherwise, when the crabs are full, the side baffles will be pushed outward.
-On both side boards, a tie rod is secured to the bulwark plate. This prevents the lengthwise boards from falling inward due to pressure.
Started with the four 3x3 mm uprights.
A: The continuous groove, 0.7 mm wide and 0.7 mm deep, for the lengthwise planks.
B: The 0.7 mm x 0.7 mm groove for the side boards that doesn't extend all the way.
C: The 0.5 mm wide and 0.5 mm deep groove, where the axle of the removable roller is mounted.
D: The 0.5 mm hole where the tie rod is secured to the bulwark.
Finally, a pin is placed in the bottom to secure it to the deck. Later, some securing strips will be added to the foot.
On the deck, I've determined the position of the four uprights:
On the open starboard section, I've made two pieces of deck planking so that the two uprights and the planks between them are at the same height as on the entire port section.
Now I can line the uprights and start measuring and cutting the 30 planks for the bulkheads to size, as well as the supports, rods, brackets, guide strips, etc.
