The bow is not anchored in the sense that a boat with a fine entry is. It is just that, as with any kayak, as you descend into the trough the bow will dip. The further back your seat the more you will Leacock. The extra waterline increase is only at the front, so one's seat moves back.

My thanks to you and Rob for the explanations.

Sorry if I pulled the discussion too far off-topic!
