This seems to be a common phenomenon among Guillemot owners. Some have built skegs, some have adjusted/improved technique and others have added a fin in order to make her go straight. I am about to glass the Guillemot I am building and I think I will wait and try out this goin in circles thing first hand. If it is annoying enough to me I will install a fin.
