Contrary to page 4 of Competent Crew 4th Edition by Pat Langley-Price & Philip Ouvry produced for the RYA Competent Crew Certificate ISBN:0-7136-7089-4 The stern is NOT the bow of the boat !

Types of Stern
I don't have the knowledge to add the following, but it would make a nice addition to the page. Stern types could include transom, cruiser ... etc. Maybe some nice photos could be added as well. the ass end of the boat location of the out board motor transom rearof the boat —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.131.4.201 (talk) 06:51, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, this would be very useful indeed. The ones I can think of right now are
 * Wineglass
 * Barrelback
 * Fantail
 * Slipper
 * Beaver
 * Canoe
 * The list goes on...


 * There might be some regional differences in terms, so I'd like to have a second opinion from someone who is more into boat design. --GSchjetne (talk) 21:44, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Page protected
A user drew my attention to claims of repeated vandalism and page blanking by IPs on this article. Having examined the History from recent days I concur that there's a probalem, so I have placed semi-protection on this page so only established users can edit it for the time being. 23skidoo (talk) 02:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Types of stern picture reworking
This picture shows a series of types of sterns. Please rework them in a graphics program and reinsert to article. Also look into the exact names for some of the sterns where no name has been given. Thanks

Major reworking
I have just finished (well, sort of finished) adding a lot of new material to this piece as well as a professional diagram of an elliptical stern. scraping all this info together was mind-bending, and I am still not entirely sure I got it all right! Having said that, I think the stream of new citations and some text that really parses out the different types of stern makes this piece seven-fold better and more useful than it was even just a week ago. Or so I hope. KDS 4444 Talk   16:17, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to interlink the directions together with a section like this as seen in the 'port' page:

Merger proposal
I am proposing that the article on the Constanzi stern be merged into this article. As it is, the Constanzi article is a stub-- here it could join all the other types of stern in a unified stern-related article. KDS 4444 Talk   10:50, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Note that the talk page for Constanzi stern had no "discussion" in it: it only contained a few templates, and nothing material to copy over or link to from here.
