Dave,
        I also have an Eddyline Raven and my SO has a Current Designs
Solstice.  The amount of weathercocking of the Raven seems extraordinary to
me compared to the Solstice.  In a 15 knot crosswind, my SO in the Solstice
just paddles along with practically no correction strokes.  I, on the hand,
am doing a correction every third stroke.  I'd be interested in what your
experience has been and the experience of any other Raven owner, for that
matter.
