I have never had that with my Osprey which has the same hull. Are you too small for the boat. I'm about 200 pounds. You might try to add just a little weight behind the seat, like a 1 gallon jug of water. If that does not improve or fix it you are not weathercocking.

: Hi guys,
: I am new to this site and am seeking advice on building another
: stitch and glue. I currently paddle a Pygmy Golden eye and find
: allot of weather cocking in following seas and winds. Are there
: other Pygmy boats or other S&G boats that I can build that
: handle better in these situations? I do most of my paddling in
: the San Francisco Bay area where wind is a big factor.
: Thanks for you help.
