It was probably a solid piece that acted as the transom. It was probably hinged and then bolted on the other side. It was designed to act as a "gate", so you could get in and out of the back of the boat easily... like if you were docked stern to the slip.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
