: I'm curious about this. A quick glance at some of Harvey's replicas seems to

: modern, but, hey, I'm not the expert on this one. I can't afford his book,
: so I don't have it handy.

At quick glance kayaks that had such bow are from 1880-1970 west greenland. Clearest examples from Sisimut and Nuuk. They seem shortish kayaks around 5m in lenght. I've just made a assumption that it would be something about steeper waves...

Harvey is quite light person, and I would guess the 20th century kayaks could be a little underloaded with him only (no rifles, harpoon etc. stuff).

In some kayaks the chine does come to waterline but the angle is quite little - so it shouldn't make difference. For the pics I just chose the ones where difference was maybe the greatest.

In Ken's Illorsuit one issue could be it's maybe done for more beginners than usual adult Greenlander. And as the measures were different than usual kayaks in there, the design might not came out so perfectly. But, I assume such chine in bow could be good in some situations.
