Lofting the boat... the plans come with scale drawings of the shape of the hull, and a "table of offsets," which together can be translated into a full-size drawing of the lines of the boat. We screwed down plywood to the shop floor, painted it white, drew the necessary grid of waterlines and section lines, and began plotting the points of intersection of each line according to the table of offsets. Connecting these points with a batten gives a fair curve to each line, and when complete we have patterns for key components of the boat.
