A simple Method for Marking out full size templates
We have boat plans (both yacht designs, catamaran designs and power designs) for all sizes. From the 12ft Mushulu Dinghy stitch & glue yacht tender to the Oceansky 57 catamaran. We design timber boats, plywood boats, strip plank boats, fibreglass composite boats, steel and aluminum boats to very modern styling for both monohull designs or multihull designs, powerboat or sailboat and in round bilge, multi-chine or radius chine hull forms.

Welcome all.
The first job of transferring the full size patterns to the MDF is quite a job on its own, But I have come up with a method of making the job so easy.
First get yourself a dressmakers tool and a large sheet of carbon paper. ( I got mine from Spotlight store )
1/ Lay your sheet of plywood on a bench or floor then place the full size patterns on top of plywood.
2/ Line up the patterns on the plywood accuratley.
3/ Slip a sheet of carbon paper between the plywood and the patterns.
4/ Then scroll the dressmakers tool over the top of the pattern line.
5/ Remove the full size patterns and simply cut the bulkhead/Frame pattern out by cutting along the "dotted" line
