The only l have had one yacht without a pointy stearn was the Commando Class 28 footer the othe either had sort of Colin Archer type with the rudder outboard or the canoe type as of the Mashford 23footer I cannot say in truth that there was a noticeable difference although there was the idea that a pointed stead would part the waves in bad weather I never got to try that idea out
