Hobbyhorsing: something like a flopper stopper?

[Thumbs Up]

The other term is pitching, same thing. The waterline could be subjective, especially on a one off. A lot of speculation. SVKemily, can you post photos by chance? Any out of the water photos? Also if the other boats around you have different hull shapes or are different types of boats it is not comparing apples to apples. Also not sure what you mean about a spoon bow. What I think of as a being spoon bow would reduce pitching (more bouyant forward) whereas a fine entry would be more amenable to pitching.
