I have a 32-2 but I don't know what you mean by lines drawings or offsets.

Lines drawings are drawings that define the hull shape in 3D - here is an example:

So not just the outline, or deck or internal plan, but you can actually use these curved lines to loft the shape of the frames, molds, etc.

Table of offsets is the same idea, but presented in tabular form. It lists the station (measurement from a fixed reference point) and the other dimensions at that point. Example:

A table of offsets looks something like this:

I'd like to have source material to create a model of my 32-2 hull in 3D, other than going and measuring the offsets myself!

Thanks
