[Paddlewise] Baidarka Stern

We did the bow chat. What about the stern? I love what it does for  
the handling and passive propulsion of my S&G baidarka when in a  
following sea. So much so that some friends and I did a group build  
on a double.

Would a commercial kayak benefit from a baidarka stern without the  
bifid bow?  Would customers run screaming from the showroom if  
presented with such an offering? Would a kayak with a regular bow and  
a baidarka stern result in ridiculous broaching in a following sea?
