I have to agree with that - in big winds one of my boats lee-cocks, can be a real drag. May have something to do with the bigger waves in high wind too - the bow is less "locked in" despite forward paddling because it's always going up and over waves, less of it is in full contact with the water (just a theory). Under 20 mph the boat weather cocks predictably. (i'm not the "jim" who started this discussion fyi)
