After some time, I think I figured out interesting way to draw my boat. I have very poor sketches, without theoretical lines of the hull. Now, in order to create hull frames, I need to create several offset planes and I use intersections of deck and hull lines and said planes to attach splines to resulting points. 

Now, I wonder if I can do it once and copy paste plane and sketch so the offset of plane will change, and new sketch, will have same intersections?

Here is the picture - two last elements of timeline is offset plane (marked with x), and sketch which has only 3 points made by intersection tool (points circled).

unfortunately, no, unless you want to write a Python script to do it.  Otherwise, you'd have to do it manually.  You probably don't need as many hull sections as you might think you do, so maybe the task is not that difficult.  The fewer sections, in general, the better your resulting surfaces will be.

If you place the sketch in a component, you can copy the component.  Use joints to position the copy. You don't need to create planes if you use this method.
