In Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, you unlock this Gilded Hull Design Plan by finding a certain treasure map hidden in ancient ruins and finding the buried chest.

Find the Treasure Map at Misteriosa

Your quest begins at Misteriosa, the ancient Mayan ruins at (272, 175). Drop anchor and head to the beach, then climb the central structure to the local viewpoint.

From the viewpoint, turn right and go down the stone stairs. Drop a couple of floors until you see a corpse on the ground. Search the body and you'll find the treasure map. With the blueprint coordinates in your possession, return to your ship.

Dig Up the Blueprint at Kingston

The treasure map leads to a hidden beach near Kingston at coordinates (631, 152). Fast-travel or navigate your ship to the region and dock along the coast in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.

Make your way over to the far east side of the cove. Look along the shoreline to find a grounded shipwreck resting right beside a cluster of palm trees.

Go to the two wooden barrels beside the wreckage and interact with the sand just in front of them. Digging here will uncover the hidden chest that holds the Gilded Hull Design Plan and a nice reward of Reales.

Head back to the Jackdaw or to a local Harbourmaster. Access your ship appearance options in the customization menu to apply the golden trim to your hull in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced.
