Rstitson,

I saw you already purchased the plans. They where sent out today.
To answer your question, most of our plans do not have full size templates. Paper can shrink up to 2%, leaving the builder with inaccurate hull parts. If a set of plans do happen to come with some templates our designers recommend drawing out the parts by hand, using the dimensions given, and then verifying with the templates.
In your case, there are no templates. However, I think you will find our plans very easy to read and transfer the measurements to your plywood.

Good luck on the build!
