Hi Leslie,  it sounds to me as though you should be having a close look at your weight distribution,  in the boat I mean!

Hi Leslie

 

I think that Eric is correct and that you have to much weight forward of the models centre line.

When you pick the model up does it feel nose heavy?

 

If this is not the problem it would help us if you posted some photos of the boat at rest in calm water and some from above with the models hatches/covers off.

 

Are you sailing on a lake, canal or sea?
