Why the movement of backward water is in 'v' shape while moving on a boat?

Answer:

When the speed of a source exceeds the speed of waves $(a > v_{e})$ the wave fronts lag behind the source in a v-shaped region with the source at the vertex. In the figure below circular wave fronts mentioned above form the v-shaped region.
