: Should equal weight be given to each end?

no, the difference is covered by having usually different locations. and as the back is connected to the front, the lateral plane coeff or this rocker measure is sort of the average of the 2 conditions if diff.

to get closish to this figure, i would take the dist betw the 50% depth locations and divide by the whole waterline length. that sorta approximates the lateral plane coef.
