    This document discusses different stern and bow shapes for sailboats. It notes that while flat-sided hulls are not ideal for rough water, some bow overhang provides lift. Stern shapes can vary widely, and modern sailboats commonly use reverse transoms which reduce weight compared to traditional overhanging counter sterns. A long stem can help prevent waves from breaking over the stern. Overall, excess overhangs are to be avoided on modern yachts.
