Love that someone spent all that time putting it together! Maybe if they could articulate the foils so the weather one could pull the hull down while the leeward one lifted they could fly quicker and more consistently.

Articulate"- Easy to say, not so easy to do. The curved lifting foil rig pictured has loaded up his spin quite a bit, but you may note- it is flying with no whitecaps: Wind apparently is under 9 knots. It is not clear if the rudders have foils too. Anybody?
The hydrofoiler in my thumbnail on the left here <- needs 11 knots. Its Great fun.

Dave, do you think double T dagger boards and rudders would work better? Wasn't that what the C class cat did? I also wonder if you need to put those angled boards way out to the side like they have in the video. Could you put them right through the hulls, like daggerboards on an angle but angled in, and then T foil rudders, or would that be too "tippy"?
