: i did achieve those traits by moving my seat forward by 4".

: The only item i am wondering about is...

: when not moving..in 10-15 k winds...the boat slowly turns sidewase to the
: wind.
: Is that desirable?

: Once moving..it will weathercock with sked up..lee cock with skeg down as it
: is suppose to.

Many boats do that. They really arn't designed to sit still unattended. They also tend to gain stability with motion.
