Tern weathercoking and such performance

Could people who have Greenland style boats like the Tern please comment on tendancy to get pushed around by the wind or waves when they are not taken head on?

Is this just a function of the bow and stern sticking up fairly high out of the water?

Thanks, Pete czerpak Albany, NY

Ps. still pondering a decision to build a Shearwater greenland style boat.......
