reverse transom

Back again and I'm ready to build another double boat. I'm switching to a stripper, but I'll modify any plans to incorporate my faired in integral "wing" rudder. I saw a reverse transom on a fast skinny composite 20'expedition single. Is there any actual advantage to it? How does it work? If the value is not more apparent than real, it might lend itself to my rudder design... at least visually and we are both shallow blonde types (graying, but still giddy)

Any advice will, as usual, be greatly appreciated.

as ever, Tom
