In Response To: Broaching (Tommy)

: Isn't this the technical name for the behavior when stern tries to overtake
: the bow?
In this case, it could be broaching or weathercocking. Leecocking is when the bow turns away from the wind.

: And don't all kayaks do this given waves and wind from hind
: quarters strong enough?
Some to a limited extent and some more so.

: I meant this as a general question: is there a hull design that helps to
: minimize broaching?
