LCB vs. LCF

Can any speak to the position of these values in relationship to each other. From what I have read, LCB should be between 54% - 56% of DWL. From my understanding the LCF is the point at which the boat trims about. It should be behind the LCB. What if it is slightly in front?

Many Thanks in Advance

BTScow

Hey BTScow, I can understand that a freshly-registered person might not be aware of the "search" function, but you are definitely not a newcomer here...

center of flotation calculation and implications?
Is the center of flotation in line vertically with the center of gravity?

Cheers
