I consider myself an EXPERT on sailing..... over 40 years experience. Other than an understanding of the "HYDRO-FOIL" concept..I have NO IDEA what is going on here.... NB |
NB, they typically have a device skimming the surface that adjusts the foil's angle of attack so that the boat is lifted to a predetermined height without having the foil breech the water. Google hydrofoil sail boats and there is much info out there.
