High-Tech Hydrofoil

Posted by michael on from the faster-than-a-speeding-coast-guard-cutter dept.

An anonymous submitter sent in links to a super-sophisticated hydrofoil/catamaran which intends to break various water speed records for wind-powered vessels. Max speed: 45 knots. A couple of fansites have more photos of the craft in action.

    Hydrofoils are a funny thing. They still operate on the theories (whatever they are) on hyrdrodynamics, so they are still considered boats and not hover crafts. You can actually get your own personal-type model. Click here for more info.
