Chapter 16 – Lofting 185<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong>ly other area where there might be some c<strong>on</strong>fusi<strong>on</strong><br />

in subtracting planking thickness is in the last<br />

stati<strong>on</strong> aft, where there is not another stati<strong>on</strong> with<br />

which to average the angle. For planking thickness<br />

subtracti<strong>on</strong>, the <strong>on</strong>e angle will be close enough. If you<br />

want to bevel the last stati<strong>on</strong> from the lofting, you will<br />

have to allow for a few degrees because the planking<br />

will be curving as it comes into that stati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

This completes the basic lofting. You should now have<br />

the exact shapes of the desired stati<strong>on</strong>s from which you<br />

can cut the mold frames, permanent frames, bulkheads,<br />

transom, and other manufactured parts.
