A couple more knots and the boat would flatten out. That nose high angle is a good sign the boat is not planing quick enough for the hull design.
In the case of the Corniche they were notorious for planing bow high...and then of course owners bolted davits and a inflatable on the extreme back of the boat.
The main consequence being an unsightly saggy deflated rubber bag full of rain water quietly degrading in the sun on the back of the boat.
Plus more difficulty getting in and out of tight moorings in marinas and locks. Try to get a shoreline to off side of a boat gracefully with dinghy in the way.
Defenders of the perishing things always forget to mention you are supposed to remove the thing after the season, deflate and fold it up, force it back into its bag, drag it off the pontoon, get it into the car boot, get it out again into the garage.
Having of course previously moved 10 years worth of household junk/ bikes/mowers/ to make space for it.
Which brings me on to people who park multiple on the road with a double garage full of stuff that really needs to go down the tip
..............and yes my garage does have car innit

and .............you could probably get twice as many boats into any Thames lock, especially that tiddy one a Bray.
