S&G: Figure X Y coordinates ? *LINK*

I'm looking to build my first kayak . Ive got the lofting figured out for the panel offsets. But I just cant seem to figure out the Forms offsets . I understand that they are in XY coordinates . My problem is I'm not able to lay these out in a manor that I can use . Ive got some CNC back round and I'm not sure if this is hindering or helping me ... most likely not helping as I'm lost.
Ive been searching for some time now and have yet to find the information I need . I'm even more confused by the negative numbers . I'm looking at the plans of the Guillemot here in the site .
I know just simply buying another set of plans would solve everything except my satisfaction of doing the entire project from scratch designs.
Ive got all the materials I need at my disposal and would like to get rolling as soon as possible. But alas I'm lost at XY..
Any help you guys could offer is greatly welcomed.
