Definition of stern counter

I am stuck on "stern counter."

A counter stern--i.e., reverse transom, isn't what I mean. I'm talking about the curvature of the hull under the stern, where the wind blows your hat so you can't reach it with a boat hook.

Also, the area where through-hulls drain in the 32-3 and 38.

  • Transoms – These timbers extend across the low parts of the hull near the rudder, and are secured (notched and/or bolted) to the sternpost. The transom located at the base of the stern, and the uppermost of the main transoms,[SUP][5][/SUP] was typically called the wing transom; the principal transom below this and level with the lower deck was called the deck transom; between these two were a series of filling transoms. If the stern had transoms above the wing transom, they would no longer be affixed to the sternpost. The first of these might be called a counter transom; next up was the window sill transom; above that, the spar deck transom. The larger the vessel, the more numerous and wider the transoms required to support its stern.

The mind can be a hungry thing!!

I'm of the understanding that the counter is, generically, the sloping area of the canoe-body above the waterline (between the waterline and the bottom edge of the transom).

It's the "overhang" part that increases sailing length when loaded or heeled....
