Methinks the best practical example would be tournament ski boats (Nautique, Mastercraft, etc). They do plane, with VERY little bow angle. But as already stated, this results in greater wetted surface, greater drag, less speed, and more fuel needed. Can be done however.

The other example would be high performance catamarans, which is not likely what the OP had in mind.
