I like pointy on the one end and kinda flat on the other. Pointy end helps you point the boat where it's going. That's what makes it the best design. Also, the flat end save fiberglass by not having the extra pointy part where you don't need it. That's the best design (probably why you see it so often).

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.
