i did achieve those traits by moving my seat forward by 4".

The only item i am wondering about is...

when not moving..in 10-15 k winds...the boat slowly turns sidewase to the wind.
Is that desirable?

Once moving..it will weathercock with sked up..lee cock with skeg down as it is suppose to.

: Any of the following will reduce leecocking: Lower front deck to catch less
: lateral wind
: Lower front keel to pin the front keel into the water
: Raise rear deck to catch more lateral wind
: Raise aft keel to let the aft keel slip sideways easier

: Moving the paddler forward does all four. Adding ballast at the bow does the
: first two.

: I would remove your front 15 pound ballast, move the seat (and paddler) as
: far forward as possible without modifying the cockpit coaming, add a
: 1/2-inch rub strip on the bow and on the front 3 feet of keel, and sand
: off any existing rub strip at the stern. If your kayak then weathercocks
: move the seat back a little and/or sand off some front rub strip. If it
: still leecocks thicken the front rub strip or start modifing the coaming
: to move the seat more.

: A deployable skeg is really meant for a kayak that is designed to
: weathercock. Lowering the skeg in degrees reduces weathercocking then
: lowering more will cause leecocking. So when paddling into the wind you
: trim skeg up to weathercock, paddling crosswind you trim the skeg
: partially down to make the kayak near wind neutral, and paddling downwind
: you trim the skeg way down to make the kayak leecock. You may never need
: to deploy skeg in your kayak, maybe just in following seas or while
: surfing.
