Boatbuilding fever WTF is wrong with me?

So is each one of those 13 stations just a plane that describes the shape of the cross section of the inside of the hull planking, or is each one an actual rib* whose shape is being described?

*I don't know the proper terms. What's one of those ribs called, where the spine is the keel?

(In other words, can you take the numbers from a station and lay them out on some stock to make one of the ribs, or do you have to do something else with them?)
