: My kayak weathercocks slightly in 10-15 k winds with skeg up while
: making way...good.
: But...when not moving forward/drifting....it turns sidewaze to the
: wind...and waves.
: How can i get it to aim into the wind when at rest not moving
: forward...drifting.
: I tried putting a sea anchor out but in calm water w/mild winds no
: change.

: Adding ballast up front might do it?

In calm conditions you should be ok with your plan. You are correct that more weight forwards should make the stern move faster than the bow downwind and so weathercock,
but if there are waves the kayak will turn side on to the waves anyway as the wave hits the bow first pushing it in front of it until level with the stern and then pushes equally along the whole length.
Only if you hold the bow straight into the wave will that not happen.
