Both problems can be fixed with a skeg or rudder

My attempt to correct this timed out. It should have read -

"Weathercocking or turning while gliding can be fixed with a skeg or rudder"

I suppose leecocking could be fixed with a skeg at the bow but I haven't seen it done and it could cause turning while gliding.
