Man, that thing would rock on the Banana/Indian river.
Until you hit a sandbar.
What is the draft in foiling mode? I'd guess it would be less than a traditional F18/F16. Non-foiling mode it goes deeper (I'd assume), but foiling probably takes less water than a typical F18/F16. Yeah, but it only takes one time to get that wrong. You're going to look like Peter Pan with a rocket up his... Mike launching away from about $15,000 of carbon fiber shrapnel in the water. I keep thinking how much I already DREAD racing with weeds in the water...I just can't imagine. Plus you can't pull the boards or rudders to clear weed with any headway. We found with the winglets on the rudders it was faster to back down in the middle of a tack if you HAD to clear, but leaving the weed on was fastest. I made the mistake of popping a rudder going about 6 or 7 knots and it was ugly.
