Naval architects have been playing with sheer lines for many years. Sheer plays a very important part, not only in the look of the boat, but the overall scale of the vessel as well.
1rst Photo A stepped sheer is used to add about 4-5 more inches to the forward cabin roof without destroying the overall scale of the boat. You see this trait quite often in expedition boats. It provides for a higher bow as well.
2nd photo A false sheer is used to allow a higher salon where if the rub rail was at the actual toe rail, the boat's scale would be destroyed. Over the years, Silverton (and many others) have used this design feature quite successfully.

CPSeud - Love old Owens. Current or past boat? My dad had a 30' Owens Jamaican that was spotless back in the 70's. There is little to be found online of them.
Need to get a nice side pic that's well lit. You folks are giving me sheer envy.

I agree with Walt, Heron is a beautiful boat.
Here's a sheer from a 1968 Hatteras I just fell in love with. I seriously need to get away from Yachtworld.

Don't think it is because there is something not quite right about the roofline but that looks an awful lt like the 10&2, a steel boat built in Port Townsend on a George Beuhler (duck) hull design. If you like this one a lot, the other is probably still for sale at 675k or something like that. I boarded her when I was shopping. Extremely capable but not my cup of tea or my price range.
