: hi guys, how do tranfer all the info from a lines plan and offset
: table to produce panel offset plans that will enable you to cut
: the panels to fit ypur project ?.

Yes do not skip any. For kayaks they are usually every foot in the long direction of the panel and fractions of inches in the cross dimension plus a few extra keypoints that will be fractions in both directions. "The New Kayak Shop: More Elegant Wooden Kayaks Anyone Can Build" is as good S&G building book to reference.
