Rabl Kittiwake. High or low chine at bow?
The higher chine/ finer entry comes more into play the faster the boat goes. Theres only so much slamming that can possibly happen at five knots, or seven knots. So, a builder would think, why spend the time and materials for the so-called better boat?
Once you get into or approach the planing regime, things change. Small differences in shape will result in exponentially more change in the ride and handling, basically because resistance increases as an exponent of speed.

There are two kinds of boaters: those who have run aground, and those who lie about it.
