any fool can design a bow - it takes a genius to design a good stern

I came across this little phrase while researching about Albert Strange

my starters

Before the Chinese olympics that big black and gold one had the best sailing results we've ever had.

My first boat was designed by some Scots bloke on the Clyde. Bananary sort of name, it wurr verr sweet an easy on the eye, and a nightmare on the pocket of a young, unskilled, penniless enthusiast..

My last boat was fugly AWB . Cut the back off and gave it the S n S treatment, bit longer, nicer, usefully quicker downhill and less pitching- and surprisingly easy to do, with guidance

I now have quite a wide stern but that are tricks to soften that so it looks ' about right'

I think KatieL is about as good as they come too btw

outboards have been bad for yacht design

Why on earth would you do that!!!!!!! ?????? :-(

Seems ideally suited: traditional hull, traditional outboard. Heritage trumps pollution any day (ducks swiftly...).

Indeed - what a wonderful place from which to watch the day wake

Thanks to your post, I have gained absolute clarity regarding the link between Osmosis and Celulite that can attack even the finest of sterns in the fullness of time.

I feel that there are those who may disagree with your aesthetics and so for them may I offer this fine example?

Sadler 32 does it for me, don't have a pic though.

Someone may oblige on the off chance that a forumite has one.

It's underwater that counts!

I think this is a prettier and, if I understand previous posts correctly, the view most commonly seen by other, sometimes much larger, boats.

Behave!

The worrying thing is a pic of one of those came up when I was looking for one of a Sadler.

If folk like wide flat arses.....

no-one likes a wide fat arse

I blame it on outboards and marinas charging by the meter

This is my favourite piccy at the moment - currently my desktop background....

To me, the pinched stern of the Sadler 32 doesn't look right - it looks blummin uncomfortable and crowded .. Go a bit wider for more comfort!

I wouldn't suggest the AWB sterns are anything to behold, but taking it to extremes and I quite like the Open 70

or the Open 60 ...
