In order to understand more, I opened box No.2 of the kit and tried out the principle of the "measuring sticks" to get the correct levels for the deck clamps
Let us take a look at the manual and the shown sketches in which the use of these measuring sticks are shown
For the deck clamps picture 3 is important with the blue and green marked sticks
Therefore to try the method I had to close the "windows" of the jig, like described in post #109 of this topic
I used transparent adhesive tape, so I can see the laser markings and most important the open quare to take over the sticks - With the tape the parts ("window doors") are fixed enough for these activities and you can easily remove them when not necessary any more
some measuring sticks installed - without any correct order
and the three parts of the deck clamps (parts 3A-1, 3A-2 and 3A-3) are laying there on top of the sticks - only to understand the ideas of the construction methods behind -> I think, step by step, that this can be also a real clever idea - I hope to confirm this opinion in some days
Remark:
Do not search in the box for the total number of measuring sticks shown in the manual - you have to reuse them in several axis.
The box contents 2 times 4*4*400 and 2 times 5*5*400
Cutting them to the length of 200mm - so you get 4 measuring sticks of both dimensions (4*4mm and 5*5mm) with length of 20cm
This evening I have to think further - and I hope that Tom @CAFmodel can give also some advise .....

LE COUREUR - french Lugger 1776 - POF kit from CAF in 1:48 by Uwe
You are absolutely right - when I saw this sketch (and others) from the second manual I realized this also The base elements B1 and B2 can be used also as a solid base for the deck, rigging etc. works. - we have to think which connections have to be fixed and which connections should be...
