First, strike a base-lineon one side of the floor, the length ofthe loft, and above this line the water-lines may be set off. Having- proceed-ed thus far, we will next inquire howmuch length is required from the 0frame to the front of the cutwater, asthe mould-loft is the place to lay downthe head, as well as the ship itself. Weshould have length enough to extendfour frames at least into the after-body,but eight would be preferable. Whensufficient lap cannot be obtained, wemay allow no room for the head, butlet the stem take a position at the endof the loft ; the fourth frames may beset off on base-line and squared up.
