German Trawler Cux 87 RC Ship Model Kit

Model kit shrimp cutter Cux 87 from Billing Boats 1:33 made of wood

History of the original:

Crab cutters are boats specially designed for crab fishing. They are usually small to medium-sized, manoeuvrable and robustly built to withstand the harsh conditions at sea. North Sea prawns are caught using special nets known as crab baskets or crab nets. These nets are dragged across the seabed and catch the crabs. Crab cutters have an open working area on deck where the caught crabs can be sorted and processed.

Cux 87 is a typical German crab trawler, built by the "Deutsche Krabbenkutter Werft", as can still be found in many small harbours on the north German coast today. The classic vibrating sieves and crab boilers can also be found on the deck of this beautiful model.
