The easiest is to plot them full size. What I did was transfer points from plans to AutoCAD and plot them full size on our plotter at work. We have an HP650C plotter which has a roll of paper so the length can be endless.

The only other way may be to lay the points out on the plywood (S&G).

Out of interest, what kind of kayak is it (WW, lake, river, Sea, touring, fast, manueverable)?
