I read somewhere that the effect that Sway describes leads to the broad sterned boats broaching more dramatically than the narrow sterned boats.

I guess with breaking seas astern, the tendency to broach is increased and the sugar scoop bathing platforms may be more wave-welcoming than high narrow rear decks.
