On the day in question we had out the Pole Dancer and the Sheerwater 17... Very different boats, but both suffering the same problem.

If that was the Shearwater 17, perhaps this comment from a paddling.net review applies?
The boat 2 of us level 4 instructors paddled lee-cocked and took a ton of energy to paddle. It responded slower to turns than any of our boats (Cetus, Romany).
