Where is station A in offset table?

I've got a table of offsets for a sailboat that lists stations from -1 to 11 and a station "A" aft of 11. Unfortunately, I don't have and most likely can't get the lines drawing for this boat.

I'm guessing that station A might be at the transom, but the offset table doesn't mention any longitudinal position for it.

Is there a convention for where this station is?

Thanks,

Tim

Often the forward most point of the boat will be shown as the FP and the aftermost point as the AP. I suspect it is the latter... just without the "P"...

The P in both cases refers to perpendicular - F and A are forward and aft
