ah, quarter berths "as close to the stern as possible" are rather a bit abaft
"the center of gavity". Nevermind, you did mean "center of bouyancy", not
center of gravity.

The salon sole is the most comfortable berth in a seaway, followed by the
salon seats. Next come the quarter berths, and dead last is the v-berth.



On my boat the quarter berths are as close to the stern as possible. I
think is generally agreed the the smallest motion is experienced near
the center of gravity i.e. nearer the center of the boat

You can become airborne sailing into the wind, while sleeping in the
v-berth
and even the quarter berths, not so in the stern. I used to commercial fish
and I built a 70' longliner (with a stern cabin). The stern is more
comfortable. And, if you are taking shifts at the helm in rough weather,
being able to sleep is a good thing.
