welcome to the not so wonderful world of trying to back a full keel boat.
I assume the HC is a full keel, correct?
My Cape Dory backs just as bad. Hint,,, back only as far as it takes to get going forward.
The wind blows the bow downwind 100% of the time while backing. Learn how your boat backs in varying conditions is about all you can do.
Do NOT try to fight it or you will end up in trouble.
In most situations the stern will naturally want to go one way or the other. It probably won't be the direction you want it to go in, so learn to adapt ia about all you can do.
good luck
