Typically all boats will drift with the stern into the wind with the engine down. Nothing to do with your hull. If you tilt the engine up, it will probably drift somewhat sideways depending on deadrise. You can make a poormans drift anchor with a 5 gallon bucket tied to your bow cleat with about 15 -20 feet of rope with the engine tilted up to get your bow to come around into the wind.
