more beam aft, or amidships?

Valid point - "contribute nothing positive to any aspect.." did not consider the examples you cite. However, these boats are specialized race machines designed to optimize downwind performance surfing in the high wind conditions of the southern ocean. I don''t much relate to what''s useable for you or me or anyone we know, whether daysailing or circumnavigating. The wide-stern designed being build for us schmoes only intend to sqeeze in an extra couch.
