Sheer, half-breadth and body plans, drawn from the hull form the game sails. Stations are numbered from the stern; waterlines are measured from the load waterline.

The ship's speed in knots on each heading off the wind, with all sail set and trimmed at its best. The wind comes from the top of the sheet; inside the dashed lines the ship lies in irons. Rest on a point for its speed.
