A pinked stern means that the planking comes together at the stern at an acute angle, rather than forming a rounded "canoe" stern or landing on a separate transom.  Often the gunwale planking extends well beyond the rudder head giving the pinky schooner a very distinctive appearance when viewed in profile.
