Yes, the bucket had a slight up curve last metre or two. New to HP’s. Usually, at least mine did, it sails bow depressed a few inches – and so stern up a few inches too. I guess just the sail force rotating it. Noticeable in long hull with very finr entry.
Was not a big problem, but must be faster and safer if it did as mentioned just in previous post.

| Just as a guess, it looks like it might. I think Rob said he could see something. Or that the bows were not pushing down on Bucket.A very light and long boat like bucket may not go bows down as much anyway.
Why do the bows go down? Is it because the center of thrust of the sail is higher than the bows, and that causes a bow down rotation?
Do we put a slight upward pointing bottom on the crush bows?
