Having had experience in moving figures around a ship I'd remove as much stuff as possible. Sure the extra detail looks great, but hampers moving the figures around. Real people don't come with a 25mm base.

Last time I played pirates I use a flat map of the two ships. It was so much easier to move the figures around without sails, masts and rigging getting in the way.

What? You don't walk around with a cast iron round manhole cover stuck to your feet? I believed everybody was, as our beloved miniatures do in their everyday life!  lol

I think it would be a hilarious thing if someone were to base all their minis on a set of miniature manhole covers.

I think you would be very surprised by how much room that ship model has. I've seen it up close (I game with Xeno2X), and there is a great deal of room for figures. I also have large hands, and didn't find it difficult to move miniatures around.  By the way that smaller version is the 15mm scale model.
